Fraud and unauthorized charges on my debit card

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I booked an online round trip flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong Nov. 3 - 8 on Oct 30th, 2023 using OneTravel using my debit card.

10,649.22 Thai Baht was withdrawn by OneTravel. 3 minutes later I received an email stating that the payment was declined. As they already had the money and I had confirmation of the transaction I was immediately suspicious. A few hours later I received another email also stating "payment declined".

A few hours later my banking mobile app. alerted me to three withdrawals by OneTravel for an additional sum of 12,875.64 Thai Baht. I immediately contacted OneTravel and they ran me around in circles after endless emails to them and the "billing department" after 10 emails and having acknowledged both their mistake and my " bank statement" asked me to set up a conference call with myself, my bank and them. That is a ludicrous and probably illegal request and they have lied about trying to call me as I have received none of the alleged calls that claim to have made.

This company used a "bait and switch" method in offering a flight for 10,649.72 Baht and then charging more , they entered my bank account without authorization and withdrew an additional 12,875.64 Baht and refuse to refund any money to me. This is blatant theft and deceit amongst many other things

Scammers and fraud

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We ordered a plane ticket from their website. Everything was paid for with confirmation.

A few minutes after the purchase, we get a call from them and they said there are restrictions for the return ticket we purchased and that they will have to upgrade the ticket so that we can get a choice of seating, flexibility, baggage and other amenities, and that it will be $250. We continue to argue and they decided to lower it to $120. We agreed to it and they started asking us to send them pictures of our ID and credit card. We refused because we thought it was weird that they would ask for that.

I asked to cancel the entire flight. They refused to cancel the ticket. They started harassing us by constantly calling. A few hours later, we called back to see if the departure ticket was still active since we never received any etickets.

I get transferred to the same representative and he assured me that the departure ticket was good and for me to confirm. I confirmed it. 20minutes later, he calls back and tells us the departure ticket we agreed upon isnt available anymore and that we have to pay an additional $400 as an upgrade for them to get us a different flight. We already paid $415 for departure ticket and $399 for return ticket.

They already took the money from our account. I told them to cancel everything and they refused again. Finally they said they will cancel our ticket but will take $200 cancellation fee. They are unprofessional, scammers and extortionists.

They should not be allowed to be in business.

Its not right for anyone who uses them. We want our money back from them.

If it were possible to give a negative rating, I would. They are a bait and switch scam operation.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Booked a flight, then received a call the next day, totally odd. Ask if I understand restrictions, said I knew that they non-refundable and non-transferable, proceed to advise that you could not check a bag or have a Carry-On. Totally SCAM.They know darn well people are not aware of this, that is why they call you, so you have to upgrade. Way cheaper to go strictly through the airlines.

I purchased a plane ticket and then read reviews. Do not do that. I repeat do not do that. So no carry on, no personal item, cant pick seat and cant check in online. Also no refund or cancellation. Customer service also sucks. They speak terrible English. Hard to understand. Will not be using this site again.

They told me I can't bring any baggage not even carry on bags after I booked it, then asked me to pay more than two hundred dollars for upgrade which I declined, they canceled my booking and charged my card without giving me any ticket information, I'm disputing the charge and report it to my bank.

Pissed customer

This is a third party company. The flights are cheap however theyll get canceled. You will have a hard time with receiving your refund. Also, this company will receive partial of the refund. You cannot speak with a customer representative for anything to get explained to you. Please book flights through airlines directly. Youll be a satisfied customer.

I obtained a ticket today from these scammers and called them to confirm the appointment and they told me yes, your appointment is confirmed and they sent me to go to the airport from another state. I drove for three hours to the airport and lost more than 300 dollars and in the end I could not find a ticket number or a flight for me. These people are manipulators and it is the filthiest thing I have ever seen.

Scam do use it

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Very disappointed in this travel page if i could give a 0 starts i would. i bought 4 tickets and i receive a call telling me that they have to confirm all the info and send it to the airline to make sure its available.

Then they call to tell me its no longer available and the price went up $600. of course not. i accepted to pay less. they were forcing me to pay more then what was on there page.

i told them to cancell it but they said they cant i need to buy one full price ticket to cancell. so i requested my tickets since they were not even processed yet.. very bad please dont fall. i strongly belive its a SCAM.

no other page does this.

DONT USE THEM. PLEASE.

I just had this exact experience, I was booking a flight, had the confirmation email sent and awaiting their processing, to be followed by a email. They said there was no seat available for the ticket They offered Me.

They told me it wouldn’t be Fair for the other customers if I paid less and they paid more, when I said to Cancel continuing with this transaction, they informed me that the charge was already made with and through United (the supposed carrier). I was told we could book another flight (so i wouldn’t lose the money) with them. I got nowhere except very angry and feeling gaslighted.

I then had to cancel my bank card and call United to learn that no charge had Yet gone through. How do we stop them??

A representative called after I submitted a request for reservation and after discussion I declined to make booking and he refused to refund me even though no ticket was issued and claimed the monies was already paid to the airline. No written confirmation was returned and no documentation sent. I have to deal now with this matter. Disgusted !
