Evil tactic to earn your business and charge more
So these mofus pretend they have a great low airfare deal and get your and your credit card info and send a nonexistent flight confirmation, stating they need to talk to you about final confirmation! Then they try to force you to upgrade for a high priced ticket and harass you by this tactic that you will lose your initial purchase price and also will be charged the cancelation fee! They can't charge you originally, because no ticket had been issued and they can't force you to pay more. Don't fall for their sneaky and sly tactic.
