I bought two travel "certificates" from Luis Dardon, one of which the date was for September 5th, and I recieved a CONFIRMED letter stating I was booked.

I was told I would then get a certificate in the mail 30-60 days prior to travel to present to the Four Seasons in Maui.

At 60 days prior I was awaiting the letter with the certificates, at 50 days I was anxious to get it, and at 40 days I made the call to Luis to ask if he could double check they were mailed to the correct address. He assured me they were, and told me to wait till 30 days prior. At 29 days, I was besided myself and called him again, only to be told my dates were now "not being honored" by MARK BENZNER and Luis was going to compensate us some how. *(He is a LIAR!!!! Look him up, he's a CRIMINAL!)

This was not the case, I had already purchased my air fare and was going to Maui weather he compensated me or not. I ended up staying in a jungle cottage which cost a lot of money, and was such a disappointment b/c we were planing on being at the Four Seasons! To make the whole story worse, I had also bought a second package for my parents for $1,400, but never gotten around to selecting travel dates because they had two years to use it and they were not sure when they could go. Long story short, I was refunded by VISA CREDIT $700 for my first purchase, but am still out $1400 for the second one I got for my parents, which I purchased with my B of A VISA DEBIT they are being real jerks and I am going to switch banks after all this is over. Lesson learned!

Basically, the core of this particular fraud was intentionally to take place out side of 60 days for Visa, the 45 days for PayPal and Ebay, etc. Here is the example of how it was conducted: I bought the package in May, and was told I wouldn't receive anything until 30-60 days after the purchase. (Late Aug. would have been 60 days) After 30 days of not receiving anything, I called the travel co., Luis Dardon is the person running "Bomdigity Travel" his contact info is below.
His company was "Abiluma LLC", DBA Bomdigity Travel, and they told me to wait till after 60 days to follow up. At 60 days, they told me, there was nothing they could do to help me and they would refund me, but they have not done so and refuse to contact me or return calls, and now I am aware I am being defrauded and no one is held accountable.

I am 100% sure this is a case of fraud, because I have contacted many other people who also bought the same "travel package" on Ebay and they are facing the same problems, (one of who was a close friend, who was defrauded over $6,000 and got her moneys back already, even though she purchased hers after mine)

I want to see this crook fry! I will drain all bank funds I have to see this man go to PRISON! Anyone interested in taking him down for me and all the others who were screwed over?

You Trust People Who Sell On E-Bay?

AUTHOR: Helene - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, September 25, 2010
No way I would ever buy, sell or even deal with eBay!

I have heard too many horror stories about thieves and crooks and frauds and stolen merchandise being sold there.

People who try to get something on the cheap instead of dealing with a REPUTABLE business get RIPPED OFF.

There is a chance that you will get ripped off these days 50-50 offs with eBay and I leave it alone.

I know when I got in a real business that I can see and I can pay cash, I know that I can get what I pay for especially if I can see the people whom I am dealing with and get a background check run on them to see if they rare reputable or not.

And this posting is the reason why.

I am sorry that you have been affected with this travel nightmare! But I am doing all that I can to make sure that you will be refunded!

AUTHOR: Luis Dardon - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 07, 2009

Here is the latest response between Mark Berdysz (my supplier) and my self on the issue of refunds. So that you understand the backgroung here I have been given past dates on when he would be sending me refund monies that he owes me and I keep getting later dates and I am fed up with this from Mark Berdysz. The following is correspondence between the two of us and he still says he will be sending me monies but not all the monies that i am requesting and this will have an effect on what I can refund customers on. Please understand that i am not giving up on this until all customers are refunded. Over 100 have already been refunded and I will make sure that Mark sends me my refund money and with this I will make sure to refund equitably as I can. I do really appreciate all my customers that have been patient all this time and I really do appreciate some who understand what has transpired here and what the truth is behind this whole travel failure.

So you will not refund me on my ebay fees. I will get this from you in court (Ebay fees paid for advertising certificates between 8/10/07 & 7/28/08 $15,813.92). It was your fault that I lost everything. And I would appreciate if you would stop lying to my customers and telling them that you requested second dates from me back in January of 2008 when in reality you sent me an email in July 2008 or so telling me that I would need second dates from my customers. And i have in writing were you specifically told me that we did not need second dates and that I should keep seeling as i was. You waited to the very point when customers could not make these changes and as a result you ruined all of my customers travel. Do not lie to my customers Mark because this will make you look worse than what you already look. $62,842.94 is what you will be refunding me on and after this we will settle on the ebay fees that I lost and possibly on the future business that I lost and also on the damages to my business and my family that you have brought upon us. You have no idea the pain that this has caused me and my family. I am done with playing these wait games with you. I am tired of hearing that you will be refunding me. I am tired of the lies that you are telling my customers and trying to make me look like the person at fault.



1) All the wire transfers sent for all the certificates purchased (not including the Google & Liquidationtime documentation already sent to you):
12,000 certificates (9/26/07) $7,300.00
500 Marriott certificates (1/01/08) $2,000.00
400 variety certificates (4/28/08) $6,000.00
68 September pre-purchased refundable deposits (6/10/08) $8,700.00
68 September 2008 pre-purchased processing fees (6/16/08) $3,932.00

2) Partial & Full refunds & chargebacks that I received with Bomdigity customers (not ebay customers) & monies that I sent to Travel Incentives
Partial refunds $979.90 (customers that were sent partial refunds to appease during 2007 for uncertain dates for 2008) list included
Full refunds $8,493.00 (for customers in 2007 & 2008) list is included
Travel Incentives payments (checks included) $770.00
Innovative Merchant Solutions debited my account for three customers $1,236.00 (I am only charging you for the refundable & proc. fees)

3) All Distribution fees between 10/12/07 & 06/13/08 $23,432.94

4) Ebay fees paid for advertising certificates between 8/10/07 & 7/28/08 $15,813.92 (this will be settled in court since you will not be refunding me on these losses)

I am expecting a check(s) from you that will total $62,842.94


Luis,

I can send you a postdated check but I don't know if you are allowed to do that or not. What do you think? Please keep in mind I told you I would email you on the 8th and actually let you know how much I can send on the 7th. I never changed any dates, I actually emailed you a day early. I will have funds available to me then. I would send you a postdated check but I don't know if you can do that or not. You need to guarantee me you would not try to cash it until the date on the check because I don't want any bank fees. Can you find out if this is allowed? This would show I intend to refund you. I mean I am trying my best here Luis.
Mark



Mark at this point I have to rethink my position with you and your promises with refunds becuase you keep proloning this date. You keep giving me other dates. You keep telling this date and then you send me another date. I really don't think you will send me anything. I will talk again with the FBI and see what help they can help me with because you are not following through and I really thought that you would by now.


Luis,

I know I told you in the first email that I will email you on May 8th. I think I am pretty close to knowing how much of a refund I will be able to send you. I am working out the best payment plan I can. It looks like I will be able to mail you $10,000.00 between May 20th - 22nd. This will be my first payment toward your refund. I am almost 100% positive of this amount but I really wanted to wait till tomorrow but figured I would just email you now. The second payment toward your refund I am shooting for the first week of June. I am working very hard on all of this and I am refunding as much as I can to you. I need to be able to eat you know what I mean? We will get this resolved.
Mark

Have you received any refunds yet? Luis took $1100 from me, increased the cost of my trip to NYC by an additional $2200 because I had to book a new hotel last minute! I cannot believe how this man sleeps at night, having robbed so many people. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE?! I can't imagine anyone getting away with this. What should we do?
