SCAM ALERT: LastFareDeals.com ruined our anniversary trip!
This happened TO US TONIGHT!
LastFareDeals.com is a TOTAL SCAM!! Do NOT trust this site with your money, your travel plans, or your peace of mind — especially for something important like an anniversary trip.
They lured us in with a low fare to Oregon, and we thought we scored a deal. But minutes after booking, I got a call from someone calling himself “Nick Smith” (an Indian man, clearly using a fake name — and the email signature looked just as shady). He told us the airline booking had to be “verified” and we’d get confirmation in 24 hours — even though our flight was in just 48 hours.
We had to call them the day before our flight just to get a booking number. It checked out on Alaska Airlines’ website at first. But when we tried to check in, we got a message saying the reservation was “no longer available” and could only be handled at the airport counter.
At the airport, we were told our names were in the system but had been flagged as NO-FLY due to suspicious payment activity. Turns out these scammers booked our tickets with a stolen credit card, gave us the confirmation number, then canceled the card — so the booking was voided so you don’t find out until it’s too late — and the airline thinks you are the scammer.
To make matters worse:
• It was the LAST flight of the night.
• It was already full — no open seats.
• We had already paid for a rental car and hotel for the weekend.
So not only were we humiliated and furious — we were stuck. Our entire anniversary weekend was falling apart.
We were lucky to get back on the plane by buying brand-new tickets on the spot, at an outrageously high last-minute price, because the flight was boarding as we scrambled to rebook.
Oh — and the cherry on top? After all this, “Nick Smith” had the audacity to ask us to leave a review. We told him we’d write one after everything was confirmed. Good thing we waited, because looking back, all the positive reviews for this company seem FAKE.
This is a bait-and-switch scam with stolen credit cards and zero accountability. Avoid this company at all costs. Report them. Warn others. They deserve to be shut down.
