BEWARE-THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM
BEWARE-THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM
I was very recently scammed by a travel booking company out of $4000. I believe this company goes by the name ‘Best fare deals’ / ‘vflyus’. However on asking them what their company is called they would say ‘Flight services’.
They started calling me constantly from the minute I accessed their website to book tickets to fly from USA to Australia to visit family.
I am sure they use fake generic names and has Indian accents.
They would consistently call me everyday until I transferred over the money to them via Apple Pay (to multiple phone numbers) and Western Union to a personal account. I should have sensed that scam however they would send to me Conformation codes which I would verify via the airline website, which is why I believed them. I am unable to do a charge back as I completed these transactions the way I did.
A week prior to my intended date of travel, I was informed by them that Qantas was unable to provide me with a ticket as the price had increased significantly. They then advised that I would get a full refund. Since then I have been calling them almost everyday and everytime I am being told that I will have to wait 10-15 days (mind you I have already been waiting 3 weeks for my money).
This is a learning for me and a warning to whomever reading this- VFLYUS, FLYUS, BEST FARE DEALS, FLIGHT SERVICES are a huge SCAM. Do not fall for them.
