SCAM ALERT!!!
SCAM ALERT!!
I came across unusually cheap ticket from Oakland to Seattle and in my eagerness to save few hundred dollars, I cancelled original ticket I purchased through Southwest.com and purchased three tickets through this so-called "Tarifaso Deal" online website. Within hours of purchasing my flight from them, I got an email asking me to call them asap because they needed to verify my purchase, but in reality it was to say the price I paid does not include any luggage, not even a carry-on or purse. To add even a small carry-on luggage, I'll need to pay additional $900 for myself and my two children. So the $1,000 I got excited about is $1,900 in reality.
I was furious and asked the agent with an Indian accent to cancel my ticket immediately. That's when he started getting very abusive. He started by saying "Who do you think you are to demand a refund", then proceeded to tell me they've a record that I bought the tickets knowingly, and that there would be absolutely NO REFUND. And ended with "You can call your credit card company if you want but that's not going to make a difference. When I asked where they were located, he said "It's not your business, but we're based in Florida if you must know" then hang up on me.
Luckily, I've a great credit card company so I was able to call my Chase Sapphire card company and alert them to stop any charges that may come through. Few hours later I called a different number for the scam agency, and a different person informed me the transition had been canceled as I'd requested (almost if none of the threat and verbal abuse never happened earlier that day.
Long story short, IF A DEAL SEEMS TO BE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT MOST LIKELY IS. Stay away from these thuggish scammers before you flash your hard-earned money down the toilet and get verbally abused in the process.
