My experience with BuyMyTrip has been nothing short of alarming, and I hope other people won't become victim to their scams.

Yesterday, I attempted to purchase a flight ticket through BuyMyTrip, a third-party travel booking website that I found listed as the second option on Google Flights. I was lured in by what seemed like a legitimate platform, but it quickly turned into an alarming ordeal.

After making the initial booking and receiving an email stating that my reservation was being processed, I felt reasonably confident about my purchase. However, the very next day, I received another email from BuyMyTrip claiming that the credit card authorization for my booking had been declined. This was perplexing to me because I had already provided my valid credit card information during the booking process.

I decided to contact BuyMyTrip's customer service to resolve the issue and was shocked by their response. They insisted that I pay via e-transfer. I was aware that once e-transfers are sent, it becomes extremely difficult to recover the funds or have any recourse in case of a dispute. This further confirmed my suspicions that BuyMyTrip was engaging in fraudulent activities.

To validate my concerns, I decided to research BuyMyTrip online and was horrified by what I discovered on this forum. Numerous reviews from other customers indicated that they never received their tickets, were asked to pay more money, and even encountered difficulties at the airport when their flights were not in the system. It is evident that BuyMyTrip is running a scam operation, and their presence as a second option on Google Flights is highly irresponsible.

After gathering this information, I immediately contacted BuyMyTrip to cancel my reservation and informed them that I would not be making any payments. I will also be contacting my credit card company to ensure that I am not charged for any unauthorized transactions and to blacklist BuyMyTrip.

I hope my review will help others from being scammed by this company!
