    Transaction Date: October 17/ 2023 Subject: Complaint for Fraudulent Activities by fareowl.com Dear Office of BBB, I am writing to formally report a complaint against the flight ticket agency, fareowl.com, The contact phone numbers associated with this agency are ###-###-#### and ###-###-####. My complaint revolves around the fraudulent behavior exhibited by fareowl.com in relation to the purchase and subsequent cancellation of two flight tickets, totaling $1,249. The confirmation code for the transaction is [****** & ******]. Despite our numerous attempts through phone calls and emails, fareowl.com has failed to provide a satisfactory resolution or refund for the canceled tickets. The tickets were originally scheduled for a flight on December 17, 2023. After contacting ***** Airlines, we were informed that the agency (fareowl.com) is responsible for reinstating the flight reservation. This situation has caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and the lack of responsiveness from fareowl.com is unacceptable. We kindly request your intervention in addressing this matter and ensuring appropriate action is taken against fareowl.com for their fraudulent practices. After this first submission this situation will be scaled to the next level and make sure, this business gets out of the U.S community if no solution are provided. If additional documentation or information is required, please do not hesitate to contact me at [My Contact Information]. We appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the BBB will investigate and resolve the issue promptly. Sincerely,

    Horrible service. I booked a ticket and they called me a few hours later to tell me they needed to charge me almost double!!! But that I would get a refundable ticket. Apparently during all this they moved the date I had booked and I missed that flight. When I called up to get a refund, surprise surprise, they couldn’t refund me. I hope you all die a slow painful death.
