Good looking and nice profile on the web of Dansk Travel Agency with attractive flight fares approx. 10/12 pct lower than other (well known) operators. As they were new on the market and not yet allowed to accept credit cards, or PayPal, they asked me (by telephone and e-mails) to do a money transfer via my Bank after which I would receive e-tickets for our flights (2 persons) from Paris to Philadelphia and further on to Toronto and Montreal via internal flights.indeed, several days after the transfer, I received the normal looking e-tickets. I filed the tickets temporarely as our flights are for mid-May but last sunday, march 18th. I had a - maybe intuitive - association of thought with: 'There is something rotten in the state of Danmark', and after a good laugh I took the file and checked with the aircarrier (AIR FRANCE) on the phone and did not laugh anymore when they told me that these e-ticketnumbers where completely unknown to them, as well as the booking confirmation numbers, and that our names did not appear on their compu screen for our exact travel date... I checked again to be certain the day after (monday 19th) and got the same answer.
Than I discovered this scambook on internet and stated that I was no. X of DanskTravelAgency victims. Immediately after I took the necessary steps: police/interpol, local bank hsbc, insurance, french fraude commission, UFC assistance juridique etc. Now just wait until they get these bastards and see if there is money left (???) to reimburse the victims. As the victims are spread out over the globe, I just wonder whether there are any other french victims with whom we could join forces for an eventual counter-attack. Please leave a note with your comments.
