      We believe this company took over a call intended for ****************** customer service. Once they got my confirmation number from my Southwest reservation they canceled the reservation without my consent when I refused to pay them. They hung up on my and i then called back and they denied it but offered to rebook my flight. They proceeded to rebook me and my daughter someone they had accessed my rapid rewards account and used the points that were refunded when they canceled my original reservation, but charged me $759.98, stating that was the cost of ticket now the price had increased. This all occurred on 1/5/2025. The man called himself ***** The email he provided and website are fake.

      I called Jet Blue to cancel a flight due to major hurricane in ******* beginning if October, somehow I was speaking to this company. I asked If they work for ******* and they said yes and emailed me receipt that they would refund me 100%. They charged me $125 . I have emails. I never received the refund from them. Instead Jet Blue gave me an account credit that was nothing to do with them. I want my $125 back . I tried working it out with them and they persisted to tell me my refund would be processed within 30 days. They originally said 7-10 days. The woman was nasty and a liar. I have her email address and phone number and all emails to proove

      Dear Mr. *********************** you for reaching out regarding your refund request for Booking PCM36561.

      As per our records, our agent assisted you in processing the cancellation and refund of $256.00, which was successfully completed and agreed upon at the time of cancellation. Additionally, the $125.00 charged was a service fee for handling the cancellation request, which is non-refundable as per our terms and conditions.

      We understand your concerns, but this service fee covers administrative costs associated with managing cancellations and refunds. If you require any further clarification, please feel free to contact us.

      I called ***************** reservations and my call was intercepted by PCM travel ***************** according to the email I received). I was told I couldn't use my voucher and that my husband didn't have enough airline miles for his ticket. After being put on hold several times, "******" said he could book both flights for $616.53 which was paying $498. for my husband's portion. I did agree, however after thinking about it, I called American and was told my husband's flight was paid for with miles and was only charged $11.20. They also said I still have money left on my voucher. None of this was told to be by "******". I have tried to call them but the phone # isn't working. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company as well as this complaint. I'm asking for my $616.53 to be refunded to me.

      Hi, needed airline tickets for for a vacation with my family in ********* *******. Search results were not that good and gave up looking. A few hours later got a phone call from *****. I did not answer and received a few more calls the next couple of days. I received a call and picked up. It was from PCM Travels US LLC. The agent offered tickets for my wife and I at a reasonable price. We agreed and paid with **** credit card. Never got the confirmation for the flight but the money was already taken from ****. After mutiple phone calls to the agent, he gave us a confirmation number which gave us access to flight info from *************** with our names. Noticed that the info showed that it was "not ticketed" which means flight is reserved but not paid. Called the agent back and he said his team was in the process of paying and we would get a confirmation by email that night or early the next day. After three days days of back and forth with agent finally got the email from Fly Cheapest Online confirming the tickets. We verified with United to validate the confirmation to find out that the following message "This reservation has been canceled and refunded/voided as applicable." was posted and there was no more flight info. Called the agent to enquire why this message was posted and where was my refund to which he responded that there was a technical problem at the airline and he was going correct this problem and call us back.I am still waiting for a call back, still waiting for a refund if we do not get our tickets. We are supposed to fly in about 14 hours. God help us in this online world. Not impressed with this travel company and agent.

      Hi, at the time of the complaint to the BBB we were within less than 24 hours of  flying to our destination and had no confirmation of the tickets. We finally got the tickets confirmation by email less than twelve hours before leaving. It was a stressful process for us. Thanks to the agent working at the travell agency for his pacience and follow **** The flight went well without any challenges.

      Date of fraud Transition: August 17, 2024 Amount: $975 Company: PCM Travel also known as flycheaponline.com On August 17th, *************** cancelled our flight, we received a text message indicating that we could not be rebooked until Monday August 20th. My children were without their daily medical injections and the cancelation of the flight caused us to be under duress. When we googled *************** customer services a number appeared, and they identified themselves as ***************. They never identified themselves as PCM Travel. They said we had to pay extra because this new flight was more expensive. We were panicking and needed to get home to get our childrens medication. We never gave our banking information. This company is committing fraud, posing as ***************. This should not be allowed to continue, or other individuals will suffer.When I tried calling PCM Travel and asked to speak to someone in their fraud department they put me on hold for 20 minutes and then transferred me to someone called Selvester Stones and he said his employee number was 411. This is obviously made up and fake information.

      I talked with *********** ***** who was a support member of ***. He got the reservations for the Airline and the car. Mr. ***** said the cost for the car was $450.00 . When we arrived at **********. We went to ***** dealership to get the car.  When we arrived at the dealership the person behind the counter said I had a reservation..He did not mention  any money was given. So we paid for the car $307.50 When I got home I called ******** to say you owe me some money. We paid for our car and it was not $450.00 like he said. He replied " you should have called me"." Why didn't you called me". I said so many things were happening and you were the last person I was thinking about. My complaint is where is my money.He took $597.50  out of my account and he refunded $110.00. I said I should have $487.50 . Where is my money?? You have Mr. *********** ***** telephone number and his extension is 1010. You have how much we paid for the rental car which was $307.08. You also have what ******** told us we should pay $251.51  at the time of the pick up. Why? if the money was already in the amount he took out of my account it should have been paid for! !!!  I hope I explained myself . I guess I was so upset. Thank you for listening. I hope we can resolve my dispute with PCM.

      On July 4th 2024, my girlfriend was recommended a travel agency by a friend. Her friend had informed her that she had purchased tickets through an agency named "expertosenvuelo". She looked at their website and looked at the deals and say that they had good deals. Considering that in the past she has gotten tickets for roughly 400-500$ from ****, the prices seemed reasonable. She made an inquiry and received a quote of $1410 for three tickets. The company name was PCM Travel Agency. She was then contacted through Whatsapp by a representative who started to confirm some of the information. She was then informed that a debt of 1224$ was required and that each party would cost a total of 878$. The price had drastically increased but the representative informed her that it was still cheaper then what the airline was offering her. Seeing as how the price was still below what the airline was offering, she made the additional payment. Throughout this process she was continuously told that she would be getting the flight tickets and was sent some e-mails confirming that information. On Saturday the 6th she recieved a phone call from a number originating out of *********** ****. She was informed that she now had to pay an additional $200 per party because the cost had gone up. She stated that she was not going to pay any more money and if they can't stick to their promise that she wanted a refund. She was informed that if she were to cancel, they would keep half of the money because the tickets were non-refundable. Seeing as how they had put her in a tight spot, she made the payment and was told that on Sunday morning she would be getting a confirmation. Sunday came and went and she called multiple times throughout the day and was getting passed from one person to another or told they would call her back. They are saying that they are willing to process a refund but that they will keep $150 for fees. This company is a fraud. Fake advertising and fake locations.
