Scam! “Good” reviews are fake!
I was shopping for airline tickets, and a price came up on airfare watchdog, through flyodeals.com that seemed too good to be true. So I looked them up online and saw tons of warnings and bad reviews, however, be careful, because there are also a lot of good reviews that, oddly enough, sound very similar to each other. They are obviously fake positive reviews. That’s why on certain websites they have a good score, but they are a scam! There are so many stories of them scamming people. I knew it was a red flag when, as you book the ticket, they say it is in process and the price won’t finalize until later. Normally, tickets are booked right away. So I took the money out of my account so they couldn’t charge it and did some research. It turns out that they call you the next day and tell you the price went Up . And they quote you an exorbitant amount of money, but they tell you oh we can do it for just $100 more, for example. And when you try to cancel, they say oh we will do it for $50 more. But don’t do it because there have been many issues, as I have read, where people, at the airport are told that the tickets aren’t valid or they never receive the tickets in the first place. These scammers are not in based the country, it appears that they are in India. Luckily, I was able to cancel and didn’t give them any money. As I canceled, they started getting frustrated and belligerent. You never see this company on Skyscanners, Expedia, Kayak, Booking.com, etc., just Airfare Watchdog, so be careful! They are not legit! Stay away if you see flyodeals.com pop up on your flight search!
