Why is Lyft allowed to do business? They are con artist, that started a company to avoid anyone suing them due to the fact that they scam people daily and you do nothing about it.

Lyft charged me for a ride that never showed. This company needs to be shut down as this has hapoened a few times. Uber is another one. The US Government needs to do a better there job abd force companies to do as they should. All of these agencies need to be closed or do a better job protecting consumers. You suck.

Was contacted by this guy who had an offer for our vacation package and then sent an offer via email. He followed up with a phone call and left a voice mail regarding the offer sent and the process to proceed. I figured it to be a scam and investigated them. ScamPulse.com reports we very helpful.

I called what I thought was Southwest Airlines to book a flight using my rewards points; I'd forgotten my password. The person who called himself Mack, who sounded Indian, pretended to be a SWA representative. He asked me my security questions, then said that my answers were incorrect. He had me spell everything several times. He said he could get me back into my account through "back channels", then said he was from another company that SWA used to help settle these things. All this took a lot of time. He asked me my birthdate, phone number, , address, and email address and the names and birthdates of my wife and tow friends and sent me a link to log on and change my password. He said that for my inconvenience he could give me a deal on the tickets (for my wife and two friends, using only have the points but costing $364, plus the preferential seating, which he said cost $45 for each of us, each way. When I paid via my SWA visa card, I received a fraud alert for $500 and saw that it was from KRADFLY.com. I quickly googled it and found that they had hoodwinked another customer who thought they were booking on Alaska Airlines. I quickly hung up and called VISA and cancelled my card, and called SWA through the number on the back of my credit card and changed my User name and security questions. Total time > 2 hours. This jerk was really slick. And they advertise on the web!

I rented a car from budget at the San Jose airport. Two days later my tire pressure was very low and I had no windshield wiper fluid.

Upon return I told the representative, He was combative and placed all blame on me because I drove off the lot.

Not even then minutes later I was charged $28 for gas fill up. I filled the tank to full and drove 2.3 miles to the airport return.

I complained about the representative experience and the gasoline charge. I was told the gauge for the fuel charge was broken and I would be refunded. I was also told I’d receive a $80 credit for the many inconveniences.

A week after I returned the car I was notified by the emergency response team about a $106 charge. The invoice was vague. It sounded like there was a road side assistance issue, which I did not use during my rental.

I called the number, they couldn’t tell me exactly what happened. Said there was mirror damage and couldn’t tell me which mirror or provide photos. They stopped the claim.

Budget has attempted to gouge me twice. I wasn’t provided the car I requested and was given a car that had issues that should have been addressed prior to my rental. The “damage” they discovered was a week after I returned it. The lack of information in their email makes it seem like they try to charge people and hope no one notices.

I never received the $80 compensation. They said it would take 7 days and it’s been nearly three weeks.

Not sure it's a scam, that's my dilemma. Everything seems so professional, signed many documents and have copies of them all. Said they'll sell my timeshare... it has appreciated in value so much since 2013... Everything sounded amazing... but now my gut is telling me maybe it's too good to be true...i don't know how to find out more. They won't send me the money from the sale of my timeshare until I pay off this Kovay ...$24,000. I'm now terrified to send them more money... but if it's a real thing I don't want to miss out on it!! I've been stressed every day since March, waiting to see this play out.

They tricked us into believing they would get us out of our timeshare. We signed a contract giving them the time to do it. They did nothing but lie to us when we called and texted the company worker. Put 16000.00 on our credit card

I received an invitation by mail that says;

2024 Travel and Excursion Showcase: it says: You and your spouse or partner are cordially invited to attend our 2024 Travel and Showcase. This is a fun and informative discussion showing cost-effective ways to enjoy future vacations. In exchange for attending you will receive two complimentary round trip airline vouchers and two nights at one of over 1,000 Marriott, Hilton or Hyatt hotel.

This is a scam. I went to the presentation and they gave me a Certificate ID to redeem on line at: www.rewardssandincentives.com. This is not complimentary there is a $50.00 activation fee per person plus $199.00 per person to issue the airline tickets. Total cost $500.00 so it is not complimentary and is a scam.

I had a airline credit with Volaris Airlines that was due to expire but their schedule was not up yet for when I tried to book. A number I called that was under Volaris said I needed to pay $200 to extend my credit. The company was not Volaris but Fly Away Travels pretending to be a Volaris agent. I found this out when I finally got in contact with the real Volaris and they said they don't ask for money to extend a credit. My credit card company made me argue with Fly Away Travels which I did until they said that if I set up an account with them with another $200 they would then send my $400 back. Can you believe it?????

Had selected a pair of airline tickets through their website and gave my debit card to purchase them. I received an itinerary that stated the booking is under progress and our associate will reach out shortly or that you could contact them. The associate did call and spoke very fast with lots of details and that with this reservation, we were not allowed to take luggage or a carry ons. I stated that we needed to at least take a carry on. The associate stated that she would contact the airline to see if she was able to get a special acceptance. I was put on hold. She returned stating that there would be fees to take a carry on, more fees for a check in bag, and more fees to be in the main cabin. Also, if I wanted to sit with my friend, yet another fee. Then they stressed if I paid these fees, it was still cheaper than buying a ticket directly with the airlines. This ticket was $423, and that if I went directly with the airline, it would be over $1900, and I was being pressured to purchase. I stated no, just give me the tickets I originally purchases. They continued to argue and go in circles. The associate even got another person on the phone to repeat a lot of the same stuff. I ended up cancelling the reservation and my debit card so that they could not charge me.

I was contacted by GO ADVENTURE PRO in Mexico about selling my timeshare. They offered me $32,235 and I agreed to the price. I was contacted by Crystal D. Diaz Wood licenseID 01822129, a broker from SD Associates from Sacramento, CA(180 Promenade Circle, Suite 300 Sacramento,CA 95834 Phone 916-516-1134. At that point she informed me that I would need to comply with Mexican Tax law and would need to pay $3223.50. I was leery about sending money directly to Mexico so I sent the money to Crystal Woods account where she assured me it would be safe. An account was set up at an Intermediate bank called American Investment Trust in St Louis which w[censored]ding the amount $35,458.50 which included the timeshare price and the tax amount that they were going to reimburse for. So my understanding was that once this process was complete They would wire the money to my account. I then was requested to pay a Condusef fee In the amount of $2,482 questioned by my broker and her response was Hello Stephen, you are required to pay the fee Condusef is asking you for. If you feel more comfortable, you can make the payment through my secured account (please see attached). I won’t release the payment to the agency unless you get paid first. I felt the payment was safe because of what Crystal Wood(broker) said. I still did not get my payment for my timeshare. At that point I was informed that I would need to pay for interest generated on my wire transfer so I sent $1961.29 with the assurance from my broker with the following email Hello Stephen, I’m aware that the sending bank Santander is requiring a fee for the interest generated on your wire transfer. After speaking to Elizabeth Aragon, we came to an agreement that in order to avoid any further delays, they will allow you to make the payment through my secured account (please see attached). I will not release the payment to them until they release your transaction. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need anything else. At that point my broker suggested the following. I suggest that you request the bank to send you a cashier’s check, that would be the best option so that no government agency can interfere and the check will go directly to your home address. When payment is ready, please provide me with confirmation. At that point I received an email from Mexican Customs that I had to declare the check and would need to pay $6277.00 . I questioned what that was for and they informed me that it was a declaration payment by law. They later reduced that payment to $4290 and that Crystal Wood would go across the border to pick up the check. I told them I did not have the money to pay that amount and they will not release the money to me. I said since I can't pay the money that I could not get my money returned to me. I asked Crystal Wood about getting the money placed in her account back and she informed me that she can't release the money unless I pay the fee. She has also informed me the money is no longer in her account. She misled me into believing my money would be safe and returned to me if the party purchasing the timeshare did not pay.

I received a phone call (around when I was looking for a trip)- we spent an hour on the phone - they waited while I called the hotel separately and confirmed the hotel was legit (though must not have been). When I went to book the vacation - the website and all contact info was down and there was no way to contact anyone. I would love to get my money back. Thank you for your help.
