bestticketfare.com is a bait and switch scam company that advertises a very low price, gets your information, and then attempts to coerce you into giving them much more money due to a variety of “complications” I was looking for cheap flights and found a link to a very cheap flight that was through Best Ticket Fare at the URL bestticketfare.com. Against my better judgment, I entered my card and contact information and purchased a ticket. I received a seemingly professional-looking email saying “Your reservation with bestticketfare, Booking reference No: #####” , indicating they would follow up and confirm when the flight was booked [that booking never happened]. A day went by and this “reservation” had not produced any tickets, but I also had not been charged, so I called the number they sent in the email. During this phone call, they told me that this “great deal” came with some stipulations: I would be randomly assigned a seat on the plane(fair enough) and I also would not be able to bring ANY baggage onto the plane, even if I tried to pay the airline for a checked bag. This was apparently because this cheap ticket was in the “restricted cabin” of the plane, and that I would need to pay best ticket fare more money for the “flexible cabin” to be able to bring any bags onto the plane. What a bunch of bogus nonsense - can you imagine an airline unwilling to accept your money for a baggage fee? Anyway, at this point I still had not been charged, nor received tickets, but I kept getting calls and talking to the scammer calling herself "Amber" [refused to give a last name or ID number because "everyone here knows me"]. After more than a week and several wasted calls and no tickets, I finally left a message with "Amber" to cancel and followed with an email telling them "If I see any charges from your company, you can be sure my next step is to (a) file a consumer fraud complaint with the attorney general; (b) file a consumer fraud complaint with the federal trade commission; and, (c) file suit for unlawful trade practices (I’m a lawyer/litigator, so representatives (lawyers) from/for your company will get to meet me in person at that point). You will find lots of 4-5 star reviews of this company on review sites, but it’s fairly obvious that they were bot-generated, as they all follow the exact same format with different names inserted. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BOOK WITH THESE SCAMMERS!
