UK-Based YouTuber Fakes Death To Get Refund From Airline
The 30-year-old said, "Two months ago, I booked a flight. A flight I then couldn't go on. When I tried to apply for a refund, I found a cheeky legal clause that airlines use that lots of people fall foul of... The submissions? Code that doesn't even run... I technically died."
Watch the video here:
Fosh travelled to the Principality of Seborga, a micronation in Italy, known for its unrecognised status. He got a death certificate from Princess Nina Menegatto. He also met with the princess and learned about the micronation's history.
With the death certificate, Fosh submitted a refund request to the airline, which initially accepted it and asked for his bank details. However, his lawyer advised him not to proceed with the refund, calling it "fraudulent".
Fosh even dialled his legal counsel, who in the video said, "It's not fraud, but it is fraudulent... normally I would let you, but this time I really have to put my foot down." However, Fosh went ahead and decided not to claim the refund of $50, but didn't get it.
Fosh, with over 4.7 million followers on YouTube, created this content to showcase his creativity and challenge the airline's policies.
The video showcases his creativity and has garnered significant attention online. One user said, "Imagine faking your own death and then asking your lawyer if it's okay."
"Getting a small Italian City state to aid you in fraudulent behaviour is so 1850's," a second said.
"I mean it wouldn't be fraud considering the airline didn't specify you had to be deceased, just a death certificate. And if that's their clause for refunds then getting a death certificate legally, shouldn't be counted as fraud. It's up to the airline to be specific and clear about these things," a third said.

In the last week of May, actress Dipika Kakkar Ibrahim shared a post on her Instagram, revealing that doctors found a ball-sized tumour in her liver and that she was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Two weeks later, in another post, she shared that she was 'free from the tumour." As of now, she is recovering following her surgery at her home. While she is not acting on her YouTube channel, her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, often takes to his channel to give their fans updates regarding Dipika. In his latest vlog, uploaded on June 29, the actor revealed that their Sasural Simar Ka co-stars had come to their home to meet with Dipika. Actresses Shweta Sinha and Snehal Sahay, who played Simar's sisters-in-law in the show, visited Dipika following her surgery. As the vlog continued, Shoaib told the viewers that it felt like a mini-reunion for them. Dipika then added that meeting with their co-stars jogged up some memories from the time when they used to shoot for Sasural Simar Ka. Reminiscing about those days, the actress revealed that they would sit together and have conversations over tea. She also added that her househelp, Dharam Dada, was the one who used to prepare tea for them on the sets. Dipika said, 'It feels like Deja Vu, and now we are even talking about our kids, as now we have Ruhaan in our lives. While both of them have older kids." Furthermore, Shoaib shared that the show premiered in 2011 and he quit it in 2013, adding that it had been 12-13 years since he left Sasural Simar Ka, but the memories are still fresh in his mind. Dipika then shared that she, along with Shweta and Snehal, had even planned a trip. However, that would happen only after she is completely healed. The vlog concluded with the couple indulging in an elaborate skincare routine while watching some of their old videos, and also Shoaib informing viewers that Dipika wanted to resume cooking, which he strictly refused.
