Dear Customer Support Team,
I am writing to formally express my deep frustration and concern regarding a recent booking issue on your website.
I found a very affordable ticket with Korean Air from Vancouver to Korea on Sunday, June 1st, and returning from Korea to Vancouver on Saturday, June 7th, priced at USD 806. Based on the information on your site, I urgently made the payment using my MasterCard yesterday. However, I was informed today that the Korean Air ticket was already sold out.
Normally, in such cases, the booking should be automatically canceled. Yet I was told that the payment of USD 806 is non-refundable. Instead, your staff member, Damon, offered an alternative with Air Canada for a slightly higher price. I told him that I wanted to cancel the booking, but he kept insisting that the USD 806 I paid was non-refundable and continued to recommend the Air Canada ticket.
As a customer, I cannot understand this. It feels like a very tricky method and a deceptive practice. If I were pressured to proceed in this way, I would report this case as a consumer rights violation both in Korea and in Canada.
Eventually, as he suggested, I purchased the Air Canada ticket after being told the initial payment was non-refundable. However, I later checked on Skyscanner and found that the same Air Canada flight was listed at CAD 1,360, including Tax. I have sent this screenshot to your operator, Damon. If compared, as a result, I now have to pay over 1,800 Canadian dollars for the ticket.
Please contact me by email regarding this matter. I would prefer not to discuss this over the phone, as I am currently very upset.
I have already decided to purchase the changed ticket, Air Canada, as he suggested.
I believe the way your platform operates and manages ticket sales is highly unreasonable and unfair. I would appreciate hearing your explanation or response to this.
Sincerely,
Gyemoon park

When I declined and requested to cancel the booking—since the original agreement could not be honored—I was told the ticket was non-refundable. Despite the fact that it was their pricing error and they failed to provide the service at the agreed-upon terms, they refused to issue a refund and only offered options to reschedule or cancel without a refund.
This kind of bait-and-switch tactic is unacceptable and misleading. In my opinion, Foggyfly’s practices are deceptive and exploitative, and a company engaging in this type of behavior should not be allowed to continue operating. I strongly urge others to be cautious and avoid doing business with them.

Tarifasodeal then sent an e-mail explaining that those tickets were no longer available, and tried to upsell us for new tickets worth $5072 - their "best deal."
When we called and asked to cancel, they lied to us and tried to gaslight us:
They blamed the airline for the sudden change, and insisted that we had no choice but to pay the new price;
according to them, we did not pay for cancellation protection, therefore the new tickets were "non-refundable."
We explained that we never agreed to the new price, and that we did indeed pay a cancellation protection fee of $540, when we booked the tickets.
(This cancellation protection fee and the original price of the tickets were conveniently left out of the initial e-mails Tarifasodeal sent us, while their website made no mention of the cancellation protection fee when the sale was finalized)
The manager - a man called Ron and sporting a heavy accent, though Tarifasodeal claims to have its headquarters in Florida - became insulting and argumentative:
He told us that we were not using "logic," and that we never paid for cancellation protection;
he attributed it to "human error" on our part, and told us that we would have to pay the new price.
At this point, we said that we would report them to our bank for fraud, and hung up.
Within moments, they called back and finally offered to cancel the tickets.
They were very rude, however, and asked for sensitive information first - including our passports and fingerprints!
When we declined, they argued with us again until finally agreeing to a cancellation.
Thankfully, we did indeed pay a cancellation protection fee of $540, when we booked the tickets.
However, the cancellation was for the original tickets we bought, worth $3334 - the ones that they told us were no longer available!
After all their lies, they sped us through the cancellation so quickly and aggressively that we did not stop to notice that they were cancelling the original tickets - tickets which they doubtless used again to try this bait-and-switch scam on someone else.
We lost $540 in the transaction, and so much time.

This seems to be a widespread issue, as many others have shared similar stories.Please be careful-do not use this company. It's a scam, and you will likely end up paying more than advertised with no way no way to get your money back.
