What the? Airfare.com Scam

What the? I thought this was all settled. Chase and I were on a 3 way call with Airfare.com. They were caught in the scam and the reservation was canceled. The charge didn't go through. Whew. Over.

BUT now I have a confirmation for two new tickets for a new flight and new charges...with the old reservation number they said was canceled.

Yep. The one Swiss Air dropped because of "missing paperwork"

Yep. They one they tried to charge me and extra $1000 because the price went up.

YEP! the one that didn't EXIST anymore and I had to pay $200 to REBOOK A NEW RESERVATION with a NEW RESERVATION NUMBER.

So, I ask you. How is it that this non-existant, canceled reservation shows up, unscathed? Hmmm.

Well first, let me say they think they have the right to go back and rebook this flight and recharge the credit card without authorization or knowledge of the cardholder. They claim it's because it's the reservation in the system that was made, so they can because it was there in the first place. "they have a no cancelation policy."

huh?

Like when you're learning to play checkers with your Grandpa and you realize that move you just made will make you lose the game...so Grandpa winks at you and says "do overs"? Like that??

I'm pretty sure when you get caught committing credit card fraud, you don't get "do overs"

"eh. Well, we tried doubling the price of her tickets, right? Let's call it a day. Oh- hey. Don't forget to re-create the first reservation. At least we get to keep something, right? Hahaha."

Ok. So it's almost funny how stupid that logic is. Until you see the balance on your bank account.
