After some hard search on internet to try to find the cheapest flight, I found http://dansktravel.com, where it seemed a real, trusthworthy website, and after some emails and phonecalls (they call me, since I had made a reservation) I made the bank transfer to

well, I thought that with a bank transfer and the data that are above, there was no problem. After payment I sent the transfer slip to them and after some insisting emails to obtain the ticket, I received a ticket. But the problem is that the booking confirmation number doesn't work in viewtrip.com website, neither in the company website. Moreover, I try to call them and no answer. But the really red flag is this, after using whois, I found that the creation date of the url is 7 january 2012, but in their website it's written 2011 copyright. I also found that there is a replica website http://yourflightadvisor.com/ that was created in 31january 2012. All of this seens to point out that this is a scam. Can we use the bank account to try to suit themand get back our money?

  • I'm afraid that you never had a valid ticket. If your business was conducted via yourflightadvisor.com, in the best of cases you only got a reservation and a document that they call eTicket which is issued by Dansk Travel Agency, not by the corresponding airline, and is sent from the site of Your Flight Advisor. It is not a valid instrument for boarding a plane.
    A clear case of fraud, in my opinion, and a criminal offense.
    I don't know whether you have placed a claim in written asking for peremptory reimbursement of what you paid, but I believe that it could help.
    You could even finish your message with a text along the lines of the one I paste below and, more important in my opinion, you can take action as stated there.

    “The lack of compliance by your company will give me right to consider myself victim of fraud and to act accordingly.
    Just for the sake of information my actions in that case will include, among others and as a first step, reporting this case and your "modus operandi" to the Ministry of Tourism and Communications of Denmark, to the local consulates of Denmark and the UK, to the police department for computer crime in both countries plus Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the banks involved in the transaction, to your phone companies and the respective supervisory telecommunications bodies also in both countries, to the Internet service provider for your company’s site. And of course a new entry reporting the fraud will be posted on the Internet and will add to the already existing ones involving your company.”

    Finally it is interesting to note that in the short period of ten days they have asked the payments to be made for three different accounts as follows:
