The laws of physics say you can’t be in two places at once—unless you have a Capital One card
Kim Calla apparently has a superpower. According to her credit card issuer, she can sit in two airline seats at the same time. That is the only conclusion left after her dispute with the bank. Three days before flying to Lisbon, she searched online for her airline’s phone number and dialed the first one she found. It belonged to a scammer, who told her she had no tickets booked and would have to rebook. Her other card caught and blocked a fraudulent charge of nearly $17,000, but the fear had already done its work. She went online and bought two replacement tickets for $2,301. Half an hour later she realized her original booking had been valid all along. The airline would not cancel the duplicates, and when she asked her card issuer to step in, it closed the case in the airline’s favor.
