Description
I needed a name change on my international travel documents. I was told because it’s 24 hrs before my flight it was difficult for the agent to fix the mistake. I was transferred to someone else who might be able to help. He told me I needed to pay $260 US or I could be denied boarding. I gave credit card info, address and date of birth. At the end he said I had to scan my passport in and that would have me checked in. I was emailed all my new documents from Westjet. At the airport there was no name fix. This made me think I was scammed. I googled the company name and seen stories just like mine. Now I don’t know what to do? They have all personal information now.
