Description

In October I paid $310.99 (charged to my credit card) for a flight I would take in December, from the cheapFlightservice.com website. In November I received an email stating that my reservation has been canceled. In attempt to get refunded on November 18th, I called the company (“CHEAPFLYINGFARES 844-8341144) that was on my credit card statement. During the call I received a number of text messages with codes from a place called Flex Pay. These were relayed back to the person that I was on the phone with at CHEAPFLYINGFARES. In the morning of November 20th, I got a call from the Upgrade Flex Pay loan company about a number of enquiries for travelling loans that I didn’t apply for. On the phone with Upgrade Flex Pay I stated that I didn’t enquire about any loans with them. Later on in the evening, I look at my bank statement and it had two deductions pending with the company name Uplift. I found out later that Uplift was the previous company name for Upgrade. I then called my bank to put a stop on my debit and credit cards. As a note also, during this same day I created an ID theft reports at both identitytheft.gov and to my local police department.
