I filled out a ballot to win a trip at the Tast Of Calgary festival. You can imagin how supprised i was when i got a call telling me i had won a vacation. They are very good at scamming people and it sounded like i had won a dream jackpot. The said they needed to secure $298 each for me and my wife because they were mailing me the actual tickets. I was so dazed that i gave them my credit card. Less than 10 mins later i realized they said nothing about airfair.
I did a quick check of the net and realized they had a terrible reputation and called back to have the charges reversed. I was belittled and put on hold multiple times. No one ever came back on the line so i called back 4 times. They said they couldnt reverse the charges because i wasnt in their system yet! I was in another sales computer system that they had no control over. I am not going to lie down and let them rape me of my money.
Although they were very slick and recorded everything during a recorded verification process, they failed to mention that they were charging me in US dollars. If i have to i will used this as grounds to contest the charge with visa. This is obviously what they do and they are good at it. I have heard of others getting their money back, so i have a glimmer of hope.
