It’s just a bizarre tale — but then again, it’s Vegas.
Eagle-Tribune reporter Crystal Bozek today tells the story of an Andover businessman who claims $30,000 worth of fradulant charges were placed on his credit card on a recent business trip to Las Vegas. James Hackett says someone handed him his wallet while he was in a hotel bar claiming he dropped it. A few of the cards were moved around, but, nothing missing. Hackett took note and continued. But on his way from the hotel bar, Hackett says he blacked out. Days later, his credit card showed $30,000-worth of drinks and lap dances from a Vegas strip club. The club claims the charges are valid and American Express is telling him to pay up. He’s suing.
What really happened that night? According to Hackett, not even he really knows. It’s worth a read, though.
