Ticketing Agent Scam...

Update: 18-May-2013

http://www.flyarikair.net/lagos.html set up  their website to look like the proper Arik Air site to fool UK customers into thinking that  they are buying their tickets from Arik Air UK.

            When these guys scammed us, their website was ... www.arikairinc.co.uk . We raised such a huge storm that we got this  website suspended. They simply registered a new site  on 17 April 2013

Our story...

My  wife and I have set up this web page to tell the world our story so that you  don’t fall for the same scam that we fell for.

              The scam is simple.

  • They consistently quote really cheap deals on their web page.

  • You call them to book

  • You offer to pay by credit card,  they bump the rate up by 40%

  • They ask you to pay into their  account

  • Once you pay into their account,  they start to tell you all sorts of stories about the airline increasing the  rate.

  • You smell a rat and ask for a  refund.

  • They start to stall you.

  • We have been trying to get a  refund now for 13 weeks.

We  checked out the details of their URL on the web:

 

Registrant: Cheap Flight Holidays             Registrant's address: 242-D PAK ARAB HOUSING SOCIETY             Lahore. Punjab 54000             Pakistan             Registered on: 04-Sep-2012

They’re  registered in Pakistan

We  checked out their details on Companies House:

CHEAP  FLIGHT HOLIDAYS LTD                   330  High Holborn, Suit 10                   London  WC1V 7QT

We  visited the address and discovered that it is just a holding address. A courier  turns up once a week to collect their mails.

We  transferred £2,368.44 into their  Lloyds Bank Account from our Barclays account in good faith.             Sales  Person email: [email protected]
  • The only way to contact them is via their  phone number, 0208 150 3482 and 020 7096 0298 once we  call, they just put us on hold.  On our last call, we were on hold for 42 minutes and the phone cut off.

  • Barclays (our bank) say they cannot help get  our money back without a court order

  • Lloyds (their bank) say they cannot help us  without the account owners consent

  • We went to the Police, who asked us to log it  with (((link redacted)))
