Why can't the police arrest fake travel Agent scamming travellers from their hard earned money?
I bought a ticket from them and after few weeks the airline contacted me that they have called and cancelled the the trip and asked for a refund, since I paid by bank transfer I have literally lost my money.
Please don't use Accor Travels, they are Indians using London numbers to scam desperate travellers looking for a good deal.
Because they need good solid evidence not just your word.
Scammers are a big problem and i feel for you but you do bear some responsibility here. Everyone should know by now that Indians on phones can't be trusted. If you hear an Indian you should just hang up. The police can't do anything, it's down to the Indian authorities and i doubt it's on their list of priorities. If something looks too good to be ture, it probably is. Have you contacted your bank to see if they can help you get your money back?
Call the police wherever you live and report the fraud. Then call your bank and ask them to help recover the money.
Maybe they CAN arrest them. But you will have to present them with a solid heap of evidence first.
They CAN but there are several problems.
If they aren't in your Country(which is likely) it makes jurisdiction issues almost impossible.
It is really a "low value" crime. Meaning the resources to investigate to even try and find them would be better spent on bigger frauds.
Related to that is that none of the information they gave you is real or really traceable. Making finding them next to impossible.
They key is just to not try to fall victim
If it sounds too good to be true… It probably is. If they request a Wire Transfer, Money Order, or Gift Cards… They are a SCAM.
Take it up with ABTA and they should be able to advise on what can be done
- How much money they will cut for refund fee? Or they will give me full money? Turkish airlines refused my tickets. I wanted to go Brazil to meet my wife from Dhaka Bangladesh. It was one way ticket.
- Which airline companies pay their future flight attendants during their training, and which airline companies are unionized? I also wanted to know which airline companies pay their future flight attendants during their training time, as well as which ones pay for their housing whether it be at a hotel somewhere or not. And which airline companies pay their flight attendants the best and treat their employees the best?
- How do I bring my fake id threw airport security? I'm travelling to Dublin from Liverpool. I wanna bring my fake id with me to get some beers. Has anyone ever brought there fake threw airport security and is it a good idea? Btw not checking a bag in.
- What Do people who come to the airport with their own private car do to their Car when it's time to board the plane? Do they ship the car? Do they ship it to wherever they are going or what And if it remains in the parking lot then what car do they use to get to their destination after the plane lands at their destination
