  • I received an email from Scambook today alleging that an "investigator" had some updates. Read the update by Kevin_M on the Sky Searcher Online page. It is an absolute joke. Here is my email to Scambook Support:

    Hi,

    I refer to the Scambook message below.

    6 months after my complaint there appears an "investigator" who called Sky Searcher Online with no success. Has the investigator read any of the complaints filed and comments?

    The people who have complained have done more than the investigator. By now, the scamming company has already changed names and continued to scam others. Does Scambook intend to chase its tail every 6 months or so? If the scamming company never responded to any of the victims of their scam, there is no chance they will respond to an investigator.

    I find this gesture of a Scambook "investigator" trivial and offensive. If no one is there to really help, it is unnecessary to add salt to the wound by sending notices to victims of the scam to the effect that nothing constructive was done.

    Regards

  • Zielor/Sara...I have filed reports yesterday with IC3, Action Fraud UK and the Money Shop where these idiots collected the money. The Money Shop responded to my email immediately and told me that they will refer the matter to the department dealing with such issues. The IC3 and Action Fraud UK gave me reference numbers. My question is... how is it possible that reputable airlines are not aware that their names are being dragged through the mud through these scammers??? Yea Zielor...what goes around comes around. If they don't get caught here, they will surely be brought to justice by THE JUDGE!! They keep changing their name as they operate under different domains..what we have to watch out for is the advertisement of 50-80% discount on flights...that's what we have to look out for and then report them on this blog, even Facebook & twitter.

  • Sara, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I agree, it's been a month since I notified NatWest & I still haven't heard back from them & they still haven't followed up the complaint. Very unfortunate that these fraudsters are still scamming people. I would have thought they would cash in for a month because people eventually will clue in. But obviously they know the loopholes much better than we do & so they continue to be at large. I hope they are caught, or if not, that they will have an incessant skin itch for the rest of their lives!!!

  • Hello, I was ssoooo stupid and accepted and actually paid through wire trasnfer 2 tickets for the amount of 1811 US$ total and I paid to TA TICKET as well , but on flightbuddyonline.com. I'm living in Grand Cayman and as soon I found out I went to the police, the the financial Crime Unit and to my bank. They are trying now to recall the wire transfer and in the meantime I filled up a complain form on the website of the NatWest Bank. They answered me and wrote me that they are doing an internal investigation.
    I'm wondering how can a bank from UK not notice anything and how can they let criminals open account with them and how can they still accepting money for that account if people previously pointed out that there is a fraud!!!! I'm disappointed from the bank system!! It looks like everybody, also criminals, can open a bank account with them!!!!

  • Hi Retishia, the website of Interpol says to contact your local police - I don't know how much work the Oman police do in relation to internet scams. You can file a report with Action Freud in UK and include all information that you have: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud

    I also filed a report with IC3: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

    You can also advise The Money Shop of what had occurred:
    http://www.moneyshop.tv/contact-us/

    So far only Bankia Spain has responded to me. I got a reference number with IC3. None of the UK parties have responded. Also after the 48 hours of making the reservation, the person did not chase me for payment, clearly knowing that I've suspected the transaction. We need to let as many people know as we can, even though it's one of millions of scams.

  • Zielor...I'm Retishia from Oman and was also a victim and as you've mentioned in your post that all happened this month as no reviews were available previously which is unfortunate. I have filed a fraud report at the local Western Union where my transfer was made and they have supplied me with the details of the paying location which in my case is THE MONEY SHOP, BIRMINGHAM, UK. How do I report this to Interpol?

  • Unfortunately it doesn't look like you will get your money back. I've already emailed the National Westminster Bank - was this the bank that you sent your money to? When did you do it? I'd informed them Monday morning but haven't heard back, so either they're already under watch or nobody has noticed. I've emailed the Bankia in Spain and got a response from them. Hope the people behind this scam is caught!

  • Subsequent to my post, I've emailed National Westminster Bank, Bankia (another bank account provided which is in Spain) and Action Freud run by the UK police. A search for the administrator of the domain name confirms that it was created 5 weeks ago - noting that all complaints here are made this month. It seems that no one will be able to recover any money lost and everyone should report this site to their local government agency. Anything that's too good to be true usually is! We learn from our experiences.

  • Hey Lyle, (In from Cape Town too)

    a week ago, I went to my bank in Bangkok - to pay a money transfer for the flight ticket I ordered with Skysearcheronline. I was quite desperate to book my tickets to Athens ASAP, because the flight was exceptionally cheap! For some reason my card was not working, and the bank staff was unable to charge the amount of $800 to my card. I was very upset about this, because this would mean I might lose my flight for that cheap price.(aparently only 4 seats left)
    This was all a blessing in disguise.
    My instincts told me to look deeper into this site, and a friend of mine confirmed that they are a SCAM. - especially because they ask you to wire money into their account, and they dont ask for any passport details.
    I almost lost a lot of money using Skysearcheronline.
    I think that all airlines should notify customers of this scam.
    Sorry to say this, but I think your money is gone foor good.
    Let us know if anything else happens.
    Lizelle
