Tarifasodeal

I purchased five round-trip tickets from Tarifasodeal for $1,866.96 for a flight from Washington to Istanbul, departing March 26 and returning April 6. Only after payment was I told the price did not include checked-in bags.

When I asked if I could pay for the bags at the airport, I was told I could not, and I was also informed that cancellation was not allowedeven though I requested it less than an hour after purchase. Later, an agent, apparently located in the UAE or India, tried to sell me a more expensive fare for alternate dates, from March 25 to April 5, that included only carry-on bags.

When I contacted Turkish Airlines, I learned that Tarifasodeal purchased my tickets from them after charging my credit cards $3,198.66, for a total ticket cost of about $2,600, pocketing the remaining $598.66.

In addition, Tarifasodeal charged my credit cards under the name Turkish Airlines instead of their own. The entire process was deceptive, non-transparent, and based on trickery.

Attached are the supporting documents.

They offered a very good price for my trip and sent me the reservation information. They then called and told me that no baggage was allowed - notice they said allowed, not that it was not included but that it was not allowed.

They told me that unless I paid them an extra couple of thousand dollars, I could not bring any luggage or carry on and that the airline would not allow me to add luggage at the airport. So I said, OK, I don't want the ticket. So they said, "too late" you are already booked and there is no refund and that they are immune to any requirement to cancel the ticket even though it had been less than 24 hours since the reservation had been made. Except for the no refund, no where in their fine print did they state that luggage was not allowed - and I read everything before booking.

So I called their bluff and said that I would go ahead and take the ticket anyway without luggage. This caught them off guard and after some hemming and hawing they come back with - "We never guaranteed the date of the flight. We can book you for whichever date we want to." So how can a flight that was "already booked" suddenly change? Luckily I knew that this company was probably shady and booked it with a credit card of a company which has their customer's back.

I called up the CC company and explained the situation and they shut them down cold.

No charges allowed from them. If you do deal with these people, make sure you are safe about it.

On March 25, 2025 company Tarifasodeal offered 3 air tickets from Chicago to Vilnius via Finnair company for the total amount of $1912.83 including all taxes and fees (copy of document attached). As this offer was acceptable to us, they requested to provide them with credit card information.

Shortly, we received their confirmation email indicating that they have charged our credit card in the previously undiscussed and unagreed amount of $3298.98. We contacted Tarifasodeal (tel: 888539****) emphasizing this amount is completely unacceptable to us and done without our knowledge and thus has to be canceled immediately. The company aggressively replied that they had no intention to refund the overcharged amount.

We contacted and informed our bank representative about this fraudulent transaction, who ascertained this transaction will not be completed and a red flag will attached to it.

Later, the bank statement we received indicated that our credit card has been charged three (3) times to the amount of $940.21 to "Finnair" account.

We contacted Finnair Airlines to inquire about the ticket reservations, however, their representative has confirmed that there are no records of any flight tickets reserved in our names.

In addition, we just received an email from Sheldon, company agent, in which they demand us to give our authorization to transact the amount of $3298.98.

We do believe this company is dealing in fraudulent activities as we have later found via google that this is a scam website. They are unfairly extorting money from their perspective clients.

Also, the flight itinerary is sus as the flights are showing to be operated directly by American Airlines who do not service Europe unless they are in partnership with another company.

This is not reflected in the flight itinerary. We strongly believe this is theft on our behalf.
