Total money lost $1,838
Type of a scam Travel/Vacations
I was looking for travel tickets to India from San Francisco, I was contacted by an Travel Agent name Ravi Sharma and later by Rahul Dev on 03/12/2016 as I had posted in sulekha.com for inquiry on tickets.
They offered me tickets to India for me, my wife and by 2 year old daughter. They were offering a cheaper price compared to the online price from
other agents. They asked me to transfer money or wire money to their chase account.
They said they will issue ticket once they receive the money, so I did a chase quick pay to the below account and email id [email protected] on 03/14/2016

I transferred total amount of USD 1,837.38 inc. all taxes. They said the ticket will be issued on 03/14/2016, however I got to know while researching online that this is fraud company. Hence, I called them and said not to book ticket and refund the money. Rahul said that it will take 2 days for them to issue refund. I called them again on 03/16/2016 and Rahul said that I should get the money on 03/21. I was following up every day by calling to their number as mentioned below.

There is no response to my phone calls from 03/18/2016, the last i spoke to Rahul was on 03/17/2016. I have sent around 10 email and made at least 10 calls each day and there is no response from them. I went and checked with Chase Bank to see if a dispute can be done, but they said the claim cannot be done as this is customer initiated transaction. So, the only option left is to file complaint in every possible way and wait for refund.
