Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
No. They misrepresent themselves to be Delta online and only retreat from that if you press them on it.
This video is not very good because Kit is too focused on the borders thing and doesn't really show how the scam works.
No. This was a scam. The add said "fly with Delta get 70% off - Delta official phone number." That is misleading in the very least. They are not affiliated with Delta, and the too good to be true pricing is another clue something is wrong. You have to keep asking them to admit they are a third party. Generally, these types of scammers have you pay for the tickets, but there are no tickets purchased for you. Some will come back to the victim to ask for more money claiming that there are additional fees and they often blame it on the airline. The victim will arrive at the airport for check in to find out they were never booked onto the flight. Kit has had some scammers ask for gift cards for payment and some scammers straight up just steal your credit card. Kit was pointing out in this call that any true travel agent would have known of travel restrictions up front and would have given the client that information. It was just another confirmation that it was not a legitimate agent. Without following all the way through by purchasing and going to the airport we cannot see the whole scam. If you Google airline scams you will see this has all the signs of being just that.
