Making a confession on one of his videos, titled “I Technically Died,” he 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 30-year-old YouTuber used a death certificate to seek a refund from an unnamed airline. As per law, airlines refrain from providing refunds for non-refundable tickets unless the passenger has died.
To execute the plan, Fosh contacted the Principality of Seborga, a self-declared microstate in northern Italy that agreed to issue him a death certificate. There, he even held a mock funeral where mourners paid tribute.
Before making a bet on the plan, Fosh consulted a lawyer who warned him of the fraudulent act and denied support. The airline, however, processed the refund post submission of the death certificate by Fosh.
While ending his video, Fosh discouraged viewers from making any such attempts.
