## Key points

- Rebecca Waterfall admitted a new holiday payment scam.
- One luxury hotel stay cost £3,467 on a customer’s card.
- She will be sentenced next month.

## Summary

Rebecca Waterfall, 37, admitted using customers’ bank card details to pay for holidays abroad for herself after advertising trips on Facebook. The case matters because it involves repeat fraud against people who trusted her to arrange their accommodation, following earlier convictions for using customers’ and her employer’s money to fund trips.

A Manchester court heard that one holiday at a luxury hotel cost £3,467, another customer lost £1,136, and £3,530 was transferred to a third-party account. Waterfall was exposed after booking a trip to Antalya using a customer’s card but her own email address. She had previously been jailed after breaching a suspended sentence for an earlier fraud, and admitted seven counts of fraud and one of money laundering in the latest case; sentencing is due at Manchester Crown Court next month.
