Non refundable ripoff internet

I contacted the sky dive place on 1/10/06 to schedule a dive for my father in law who is going to be 100 in Feb. He wanted to dive on Feb 18th in Greenville. I called and made reservations and he was charged $287.70 on his mastercard.

They called back the next day and said that the drop zone in Greenville was unavailable at that time and we would have to drive to Rome Ga, which is across the state (we are on the east side and it on the west). I told them I would like to have a refund and they said it was nonrefundable because I didn't pay the extra $32.50 at the time of purchase. Well, who knows that they would want to cancel at time of purchase? I offered to pay the 32.50 at the time of the refund request and they said I could not. It is only available at the time of purchase.in the meantime

I contacted Flying tigers of Clemson and told him of my dilemma. He said Oh No Not you too! He told me that this company I paid WAS NOT a Skydiving company and that the reason we could not use the drop zone in Greenville is because it had closed in 2000. He told me to contact the US Paratrooping Assoc.in Va. And report them which I did. The US Par. Assn. Told me to call the credit card company Immediately and deny those charges. AND to contact the The Atty Generals office and report it so I did. I contacted the credit card company again and they are going to send me paperwork to fill out.

In the meantime, I made reservations with the Flying Tigers of Clemson for him to make his dive. They only accept cash at the time of the drop, just in case it rains etc. These people need to have their website pulled and made to refund all monies to the people that have NO IDEA of who they are dealing with until the credit card number is given them.

If I have to, I will let my father in law press charges against me for using his number without his permission (which he did give me his card to do this with). I want to see them brought in to court upon charges of Fraud. If anyone else has had this same problem and received their refund, please let me know. Thanks.
