Is Airscheapflight.com Legit?
« on: March 10, 2015, 07:06:36 PM »
I have a relative that found cheap tickets with airscheapflight.com, I was very skeptical about it, I checked it out, they don't take credit cards only Western Union bank transfers or PayPal, does anyone have experience? They offered to hold the booking for 48 hours.

Thanks in advance

Is scamadviser legit?
Many think its unfair how they come up with their info, and many say its not legit. But either way, it looks like it's a brand new website with no reputation that doesn't take CCs...

A few years ago around the time of the Kinnus Hashluchim a similar website came out (www.cheap-air-deals.com) that offered really cheap tickets. A few friends of mine bought tickets and had them cancelled on them afterwards. I'm pretty sure it was discussed on here but I can't find it...

Canceled? Meaning it might have been legit, but got canceled because it was to cheap?

Did they take credit card? And how long after they booked were the tickets cancelled?

No cancelled as in he got screwed.

It was the same thing. No CC, only MO or PP. I don't remember all the details only that a few people got screwed along with him.

Yes. That url is from the confirmation email my friend sent me at the time. The website seems to be offline...

i have found about ten different variations of this site. They are a bunch of scammers. They make minor variations of the same name until they get a bad rap and then swap to a new one.
