Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

Complaint Against: LimitedFares.com I booked a one-way flight through LimitedFares.com at a clearly advertised price of $714, and paid using my debit card. I received an email stating my reservation was being processed and that a confirmation email would follow promptly. However, I never received this confirmation. Instead, I was later contacted by phone and told that my flight price had suddenly increased to $1,267, with the demand that I pay the higher amount to secure my booking. When I questioned this, I was given conflicting and contradictory explanations, including that the original flight was no longer available, that I was put on standby by the airline, and that my payment had allegedly been declined. These claims are unsubstantiated and suspicious. I received no notification from my bank that my debit card transaction was declined or otherwise problematic. The supervisor, Roman, was unable to provide any proof of a declined transaction and admitted to processing my card through the airline’s website rather than through LimitedFares.com, raising serious concerns about their business practices. This situation appears to violate my consumer rights—including the right to clear, honest pricing and confirmation of purchase without deceptive upselling or bait-and-switch tactics. Quoting a price, accepting payment information, and then demanding a significantly higher amount under dubious circumstances is unacceptable and likely unlawful. I request the following immediate actions: A full and transparent explanation of the circumstances surrounding my booking and payment Written proof of any alleged payment decline or cancellation of the original booking Confirmation that my debit card details have not been misused or charged improperly Immediate resolution without further demands for increased payment Assurance that LimitedFares.com will comply with fair business and consumer protection laws, including honoring advertised prices and providing timely confirmations I expect this complaint to be taken seriously and resolved promptly to protect my rights as a consumer.

Online Purchase - Gamelab

I saw an ad on facebook for a portable gaming system similar to a “gameboy”. I was intrigued and clicked on it, and ended up paying for one. I got an email a week or so later saying it was shipped, but multiple weeks later never received anything. I reached out via email (the only contact available on their website) asking where my order was. They responded saying my order got lost in shipping and that they would send me another. Weeks later I reached out again asking where it was, I was told they would be checking on my order and getting back to me. Finally I emailed them again asking for my money back, they wrote me back agreeing to a refund, even sent me an email with a refund confirmation, saying the refund would take 5-10 business days. It’s been almost three weeks and I have yet to receive any refund.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered some work pants from them well back in February and I have yet to receive this order. I have emailed them and they provided a fake tracking number and they say their records show it as delivered. However, nothing was ever delivered and the tracking number isn’t for fedex, UPS, or USPS. They have some other system that when you click the link it appears that you have received the item. No picture or other proof that it was actually delivered. I emailed them and complained and they said they will re-ship out another set. Then this “second” order never arrived either. Now they have offered only a partial refund because they say that they have also lost money on this sale. It’s ridiculous.

I did a google search for American Airlines phone number and 877 980 7410 came up on 7/23/26. I called them. Explained I needed to cancel a basic economy flight and hoped since I was an advantage member they could at least give me a credit. The man on the phone put me on hold and returned with the need to pay a fee for canceling the two tickets in order to receive a partial credit for the two tickets that I needed to cancel for the following day 7/24/26. I used my debit card to pay the fee and he said he would send me an email regarding the credit. I did receive an email but it does not appear to be a valid claim. I called AA and they said they would not have done that. I called the number on the email. Lisa said she could give me my credit and schedule the new flight I now needed for $345 per ticket. I told her no thank you and I would be disputing the charges as I believed them to be a fraudulent company. She became loud and insistent that they had done me a favor. I hung up the phone. Very poor choices made by me but I'm reporting it in hopes it helps someone else not get scammed by them. Following is a copy of the Email that I received.

Got a pink post card in the mail saying my kia service warranty was expiring and to call them. I did and the line didn't ring- they immediately answered. Asked for my record ID that's on the pink mail card, I gave it. They asked if it was for my Telluride, I said yes. Asked if I have any dash lights on I said no. He said my consultant just finished a call and to hold on, I hung up because it didn't seem legit. I'm sure they were going to ask for money and personal info but luckily I realized before it got that far. Will include pics of postcard.
