AA employee accused of stealing credit card numbers

Posted on February 17, 2011 by Dissent

A former American Airlines employee at Mineta San Jose International Airport is facing 66 felony charges for allegedly stealing and using customer credit card numbers.

Prosecutors claim Micheline Johnson, 49, of Concord, skimmed customers’ credit card numbers for several years while she worked as a customer service agent.

They say she used those numbers on counterfeit credit cards to make purchases of more than $480,000 at Safeway stores in California, Nevada and Washington.
