There are no reports filed yet under this woman Nishita Shah's new business name but she is notorious by her last two ripoff companies Best Deal Network and IT Sources. We are hoping you will expose her. She tried to rip off my 76 year old father. We got our money back through Visa because we paid by credit card, but she had no intention of giving us our money back. Our story is just like all the other people she has ripped off before us and unless you get the word out, I'm sure countless of other victims will be lining up unknowingly and trusting this woman. Nishita Shah just opened her new company www.lastminutefare.net and it has a clean record. She owns and operates it and many of her victims know her as by Michelle.
Last December we were referred to Nishita Shah of IT Sources by a friend of the family to purchase our airline tickets to India. We spoke to Nishita a couple of times and emailed and when we agreed on the itinerary on Dec. 8th 2007, my father paid her $5,994.40 in full for 3 airline tickets by credit card over the phone and she was supposed to book the tickets. Her charge hit my father's credit card on Dec. 12th and 13th 2007. She said that she would send us our e-tickets in the mail. After a month “ no e-tickets came “ so we called Nishita and asked where our tickets were. Nishita replied, "No problem, I'll send them to you tomorrow." She mentioned during that conversation that she was going to India herself. Two days later “ still no tickets “ and when we tried to contact her again, she had already left for India. So we tracked Nishita down in India and my husband had now called her to question her about the tickets. She assured him that everything was fine that the tickets were there and that she was going to email the e-ticket numbers to him on Jan. 12th 2008. The next day, the email didn't come with the e-ticket numbers. So I called Air India to see if we had tickets and they said that we did not. They said that there were many bookings made in our names but no tickets were ever purchased. So we went back and forth with Nishita up until 2 days before we were supposed to leave for India. And then Nishita finally sent the e-ticket numbers for us but needed my father's passport number and date of birth to get his ticket. It took until the day before we left to get my father's e-ticket number. However, the day that we were leaving, an hour and a half before our airport shuttle was picking us up, the wholesaler for the tickets T. F. I. Tours had called us up on the phone and told us that he wanted our credit card number to secure the tickets because Nishita (whom he knew as Michelle) had not paid him for the tickets. We did not want to be scammed so we did not give him the credit card number. Thirty minutes before we left I called Air India and they informed us that our tickets were cancelled. So my father called T.F.I Tours and gave in to his blackmail, as the shuttle was pulling up to our front door and gave him his credit card number. TFI Tours charged all the tickets that my father had paid Nishita for on his credit card, but by the time we got to Newark, NJ and went to the Air India ticket desk they said there were 2 tickets in my father's name. Nishita had come through with a ticket for us from somewhere else. So we called T.F. I Tours and he cancelled the ticket he had purchased on my father's credit card for him and used the ticket Nishita’s had somehow provided for him. Unknowing to us that she had used my father's credit card again to purchase the 2nd ticket in his name on 1/24/08 as though she was him directly from Air India.. Thereby having him pay for the same ticket twice and at a higher price. We found this out when my father's February credit card statement arrived showing that he purchased a ticket from Air India on 1/24/08, which he did not. This was an unauthorized charge. The purchase did not say IT Sources or Last Minute Fares. Basically my father bought 3 tickets from Nishita for which she did not deliver any tickets. My father was forced to purchase two tickets from T. F. I Tours and he bought his own 2nd ticket from Air India. So in total he paid twice for all three of our tickets.
As of right now, the credit card company has reversed the charges of $5,994.40 on my father's credit card pending the outcome of the investigation on the dispute. But people need to know she has opened up another business with a clean record and will begin to scam more innocent people. She has been doing this for 10 years successfully without going to jail.
