Thanks Neil. You might want to change the URL to point here, rather than the site itself, which seems dead now.

http://www.news.com.au/travel/news/airfares-scam-unlike-any-…"FRAUDSTERS are using the lure of cheap air fares to rip off Australian travellers in a scam police say is unlike anything they've seen before.
Queensland police discovered the air-fares scam last week and say it's capable of duping even vigilant online consumers.
Victims are even sent real tickets, from real airlines, and can even ring the airline to confirm their seats.
But they've been purchased with stolen credit cards. When the airlines realise what's happened, the tickets are cancelled.
Detective Superintendent Brian Hay said the scam had an air of authenticity because victims were not immediately asked for payment."
