SAN DIEGO — A San Diego man said he was deceived by an airline ticket website, something travel experts warn is a growing trend.He booked it online with a website called Fare Masters. Peterson said he ended up talking to one of their representatives and asked the man on the phone if he worked for Delta.
“It’s the same story. They issue a ticket. They call back and they charge more money,” Mikolich said. “Then sometimes when you get to the airport, there's no ticket and then you have to buy a ticket at the last minute price.” Henderson said these companies have found ways to hijack websites and Google listings where they can also change phone numbers from the actual airline to their third-party companies. Problems can begin once you give these sites your personal information, like your credit card number.
The customer representative added in the email, ”It is important for you to know that this third-party vendor is not with our company and we have no knowledge of its source."
