Website setup as a hotel booking site, it is fake, they will never reserve a room, just take your money and then pretend to issue a refund once you email them

Searched the website for roundtrip tickets from NYC to Fairbanks, Alaska for dates May 18-May 28,2023. Picked $498 price. Entered name, address, email, phone# and credit card info per reservation form. Got reservation id#. Got call from a "Lucas Smith". RED FLAG#1) He said tickets for flight not available-"all economy seats no longer available but still have seats in main cabin for $789". I refused to pay. He drop price to $759. I said can only pay $750. He said he would issue new paperwork. RED FLAG#2): Retun date listed as May 22 NOT MAY 28. RED FLAG #3): Day of return was listed as MON NOT SUN. Got the corrections ok. RED FLAG #4) I called Delta. Flight #'s and time schedule checked out but Delta did not have me as a listed passenger. I called to speak to Lucas Smith. He was not available. He called next day. I told him to cancel order. He asked why? I said I suspected I was being FLIMFLAMMED, that a 54% jump in price was not acceptable and if he didn't cancel the order I would take the issue to FTC, and BBB. He cancelled order as no money had been drawn yet by "Faresplanet" or "ARC"--Thank Goodness. I suspected that I would have never gotten the Delta flight tickets or a seat on the actual flights. THEN, the next day I got a phising text saying my credit card had been used to charge $601.43 on "AMZ" and wanted me to tap on link. Monday, I went to my bank to close that credit card and have a new one issued to prevent potential fraudulent use of the credit card given to Cheapdealsfare.com.

The Flights Podium web site posts very attractive airfares. However once a person pays online for a ticket they receive an email that starts with "Your Booking is Pending with booking reference number :****************** Please call our Customer care number +1-888-559-4845 so that one of our expert can assist you immediately." Once a person calls the provided phone number they are immediately told that the airline in question ran out of basic airfare and they have to pay much more over the phone. A funny thing is that when I suggested that the airline web site posts higher prices I was asked by a Flights podium representative why I had purchased a ticket with them if I knew a real price and then the representative hang up on me.

There are numerous reports online that Flights Podium uses this tactic a lot.

I booked my flight with Allegiant Air through this third party claiming to be a company called Flight Conformation Desk located at 2440 BROAD WAY SUITE 219 New York, NY. They sent me a credit card authorization through my email, and charged my Citi Credit Card for the flight and emailed me my Allegiant Air confirmed Itinerary. All seemed good until I later checked my flight conformation, and it showed the flight had been cancelled without my knowledge. Someone at the third party had used my collected information, and called Allegiant Air and cancelled my flight. Allegiant Air issued flight vouchers to the third parties email address as refund for my flight. Allegiant Air confirmed they had issued credit to an "Unkown" email address, and I was left without a flight, or the refunded flight vouchers issued by Allegiant Air. The third party changed the email I had on file with Allegiant Air so they could collect the refunded flight vouchers. I have been unable to get Citi Bank to issue me a credit card refund for the fraud. This is a fake booking agency and is scamming people. Please help anyway you can.
