AIROPTIONS - AIR AWARDS Stole money paid for business class ticket ripoff Dallas Texas

How very interesting and telling that the same man that offered me a refund in writing now says it was a nonrefundable ticket!

Indeed, the invoice said the money for the ticket was non-refundable, but a later message by Jay Larsen stated that "At this point, you have 3 options: We ticket the reservation as is, we wait to see if we can change the dates, or you cancel and we refund your money". As plain as that. See below for text, date and time of full message.

Then, when questioned by the Dallas BBB, they argued that I had not claimed the ticket! I did, and they ignored me.

The fact that the Dallas BBB washed their hands in this issue, and that other commercial operatives ignored this fraudulent activity, only shows that in the end the customer is truly unprotected and that they do not care or will do no effort to right a wrong.

I have posted this complaint here to prevent other people to be victimized as I was. It is not nice to loose almost two thousand dollars from crooks and liars. Now, it is up to anybody to make their own conclusions.

Below, the full message from airawards/airoptions, signed by Jay (Larsen) offering the refund of the money:

Ghergo purchased a nonrefundable ticket from us over a year and a half ago. He then decided he wanted the ticket refunded. He has since been trying to get a refund, and he has gone through this with my employer, the supplier, Airline Reporting Corporation, the Dallas Better Business Bureau, and anyone he could reach. They all thought his case was baseless, and they all sided with us (he even wrote a highly inflammatory letter to the Dallas BBB alleging a conspiracy when they ruled against him). Nonetheless he still continues to be a nuisance and continues harassing us. We have sold millions of dollars worth of travel over the last 13 years and have never had a crazy customer before. Statistically, I suppose, it was bound to happen.
The reason why Ghergo states that we "lurk under the protective shade of lenient laws on internet commerce" and the indifferent or even complicit attitude of business organizations, ie the Dallas BBB, IATAN, CLIA and JURNI" is because they have all sided with us.
