The private jet service which got Dammy Krane,
in a credit card mess in the US has disclosed
how contemporary mobile technology assisted
them to detect and track down the singer.
Dammy Krane had paid Tapjets with a stolen
credit card for their service, leading to his arrest
in Miami on Friday.
According to Tapjets, Dammy Krane was arrested
alongside an accomplice, Chukwuebuka.
According to the head of safety and flight
security for Tapjets, the fraud was detected with
a small token of authenticity.
‘[Dammy Krane] used a Samsung Galaxy 7, and
messages did not come from that phone.
‘However, that same phone was used to place
the online order with credit card that does not
belong to him,’ the Tapjets official said.
The official added that multiple accounts were
opened for the transactions, but many were
unsuccessful.
‘Same phone was used to register multiple
accounts trying to buy with different cards until
one finally worked. However, names did not
match to zip codes and some other irregularities
were found.
‘[A] total of five cards were used within an hour
till one worked. We are 100 percent confident
that our app was on that phone and order was
placed via T-Mobile network from cell tower
located in Miami.
‘We have coordinates of cell tower and proof that
they took a car from that area to Opalacka
airport. That’s where the arrest took place.’
While Chukwuebuka later got released on bail,
Dammy Krane remains in detention, now facing
charges ranging from fraud, grand theft and
impersonation.
Tapjets added that though they are not proud
about the situation, they are trying to send a
message to others who might want to fraud
them.
‘Technology is very sophisticated and being an
airline, we have access to the latest. I hope you
can help in spreading the message that we are
not on a witch hunt.’
