Cansu Uzcan and Sean Champion are two fraudsters that work together through the use of social networks and especially email, Whatsapp and WeChat (mobile applications) to offer airline ticket booking services at a discount rate, they claim to work with United exclusively and have credits which allows them for discount flights. They book flight requests and issue a confirmation code, then ask for payment into their accounts. These flights are later cancelled and you will be flagged and unable to travel on tickets they have supposedly helped you book. Victims of their fraud have already lost $$ hundreds of thousands of dollars as they continue to operate this scheme.

These crooks use stolen credit cards to purchase airline tickets and then cancel them, in order to get a flight credit and a confirmation number. After canceling, these scam artists offer the funds online and explain they can't take the flights and will offer to transfer the funds for a discounted price.

Cansu Uzcan and/or Sean Champion reveal the confirmation number so the victims really think everything it's legitimate. The purchasers are then required to transfer the money into an account, by wiring money or through services like Western Union. When the victims try to redeem the tickets with their credit, they are told they can't because the initial tickets were bought with a stolen credit card.

A series of airlines in the United States make it pretty easy to pull this, especially United Airlines, which is a company that is negligent about their own security measures to protect consumers and would rather blame the passengers that are victims of this crime, rather than pursue the criminals behind this scheme.

The crooks are known to be girlfriend and boyfriend and operate together in the fraud scheme. Cansu Uzcan and Sean Champion have bank accounts in the US, Canada, and China where they solicit money for their fraudulent travel booking service.
