cheapoair.com The company represented a ticket price and reservation of $580 , took my credit card info, then charged my account $1754.85. Now they have canceled the booking but are holding my funds for 5 to 10 days. They have literally STOLEN my money!!! They adverise discounts but BAIT AND SWITCH!! they are now stonewalling on answering my calls Internet

 Two days ago I went online to procure airline tickets for a roundtrip I am planning in February.  After entering my itenerary, Cheapoair.com offered a flight plan and rate that worked, I provided my credit card info, REVIEWED THE COST AND ITINERARY and authorized the charge for $580.  Immediatley Cheapoair began "searching" , then confirmed the reservation-BUT -the charge was: $1754.85!!!!!! I did NOT SEE this new cost --I DID NOT authorize it!!! I immediately tried to get through their LABRYNTH customer "service" (misnomer!!!!) , finally getting a call center person who I could barely understand. The individual stated the cost had been represented to me , I said that is a LIE --he agree to cancel the booking BUT my money would not be returned for 7-14 days.

I continued to try and get Cheapoair to release the funds-after calling repeatedly all day, an individual agreed to contact my bank with a required document doing so.  But to date this has not happened.

I have now had $1754.85 taken out of my account ILLEGALLY and cannot have access to it for at least 7 to 14 days!!!!

This transaction is a blatant and flagrant abuse of trade and this company should not be allowed to represent its services this way!!! I am sure I am not the only consumer that has  had their funds illegally taken with a mis representation like this!

i believe Cheapoair is systematically BAITING AND SWITCHING ticket prices in order to both undercut the competition unfairly and RIPOFF the consumer!!!!
