Description
Using *********** ****** *************** and possibly other ticketing web sites, I searched for a specific flight, time, date, and destination and this company "Cheapvuelos" was listed with the lowest fair, along with about 6 other recognized valid websites and travel services sites, all seemed fine and I booked a ticket with them on what should have been Delta Airlines. Once they received my payment and all other personal information needed including my CC Info, Birthdate, Sex, Street Address, and Etc., I never received the ticket! Instead I received an EMAIL and a PHONE CALL from a Mississippi phone number 601-779-8406, where multiple sales people tried to get me to agree to unrealistic and un-pubulished terms to receive a ticket. Seems at best they are selling a non-guaranteed standby ticket on whatever airline may have an open seat, at worst they are selling nothing and keeping hour money, either way, you won't be flying anytime soon, and one of the terms you must agree to is that you will arrive at the airport at least 5 hours prior to the flight you booked but didn't receive, and at such time you may possibly be or not be in a line to get a standby ticket on a non-specified airline, at a no-specified actual flight time and a non-specified arrival at destination time, with non-specified total flight time or actual number of stops and/or plane changes required! They then will also sell all your personal information to other nefarious companies whom inundate your phone and email with all kinds of other scams and spams....BUYER BEWARE, THEY ARE NOT A REAL TICKETING AGENCY, they all speak with foreign accents, 601 area code services 38 foreign countries, and most of their calls seem to originate from a cell phone located in Jackson, MS, 601-779-8406 plus other non-traceable no-callback type numbers, however, no origination data exists at any of the numbers there! AVOID THIS BUSINESS, it is not BBB rated, Website has not been certified and actual web-sites vary during processes and contact methods, nor is there any real location, physical address, or valid web-site you can directly contact them through...TOTAL SCAM! You will need to cancel the transaction through your CC provider to avoid being billed (IMMEDIATELY DO THIS). They will keep pestering you to get approval of charges and acceptance of their unpublished and un-viewable upfront hidden secret conditions...DO NOT APPROVE ANY CHARGES , DO NOT ACCEPT ANY HIDDEN CONDITIONS (you won't know about them till after they have your CC and related info and you think you bought an actual ticket), DO NOT RETURN CALLS TO THEM (Most returned calls go directly to voice mail and no one is there to answer!) the rest of the call back numbers appear to go into a scammers use database for more illegal actions. DO RESPOND VIA EMAIL AND KEEP A COPY FOR YOUR LAWYER, MAKE SURE YOUR EMAIL RESPONSE SAYS "YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFF THEIR CONDITIONS, and YOU DO NOT AUTHORIZE THEM TO MAKE ANY CHARGES TO YOUR CC", since no ticket was ever provided, nor actually booked with any carrier, nor actually received or confirmed by the carrier)! No Ticket equals no product or service received and that's ILLEGAL! Buyer beware, you get what you pay for as usual, they are scamming people looking for a cheaper fair...good luck with that, if it looks like too good of deal compared to all other searched fairs, it's most likely a scam! DAMN!
