Scammy site. Be weary of influx of positive reviews

Purchased flights, didnt receive any receipts of transactions or payments. Received an email saying flights are on hold and further information is required to complete the booking while any price differences between now and then will need to be paid, as well as saying there was no baggage included when at the time of purchase it said baggage was included. This is super illegal and the whole business model is designed to trip people up. Check other people's 1 star reviews for similar experiences! Not worth it, just fork out a little bit more and go with a legit agency for the peace of mind. Be weary of the influx of positive reviews coming recently as they are potentially paid and fake

Scammers & money thieves

They have scammed me $698 for nothing. I didn’t book any flights with them or anything…nothing at all yet I woke the next morning to money deducted from my account from them. They haven’t replied to any of my emails or calls, so now we are on the way to their office and pursuing legal action.

I can’t stress this enough. They are a scam and please no one book with them! It’s hell.

Buggy website and worried I have been scammed. Have not received an E-ticket after paying $2500... Very concerning...

Getting ready to contact the authorities if they do not respond with prompt reassurance that my flight plans are actually booked and in safe hands

Is Tripomate scam?

I made a booking few hours ago, the payments is showing in my bank transactions but I have not received any confirmation email or a booking number yet. I try to call but the phone number takes you to a recording informing you that the number es not set up to receive calls. can some one help? is this Tripomate.com a scam?

DO NOT USE THIS SITE

I can't express clearly enough: DO NOT USE THIS SITE.

I booked a international flight with this platform including checked baggage (I have screenshots and booking confirmations to show it!) Before sending my tickets, an agent insisted I pay for the checked baggage despite me providing evidence in the form of screenshots and confirmations that it had already been paid for - however they would not budge and offered me two possibilities - cancel and refund the money (but the price of flights had since changed drastically everywhere else) or pay an additional $225 in baggage fees (which I had already paid once!)

I had little other options, so I paid the fees for a second time and expected this was the end of it.

However, when my tickets did show up a day later, they had booked me onto completely different flights than those included in my booking (again I have confirmation of the original flights in screenshots and emails). The incorrectly booked flights involved more than 24 hour layovers and would get me to my final destination a day later than I had planned - missing the event I was traveling to attend!

Communication is terrible, littered with mistakes, typos and language errors.

Please, please do not use this platform.

WARNING! Read the reviews!!

Oh wow! I read through all the reviews and thank you for warning us about this site. I almost booked a flight with them today. I tried to contact them several times to check my itinerary and all calls went through the voice machine. I was suspicious about this site as they offered almost 50% discount compared to the official airline. Judging by how they reply to their customer's reviews UNPROFESSIONALLY, it doesn't look like they are a well-established travel provider. The address they used was also a residential address which is another big red flag.

Hi Albert,

When you haven’t made a reservation, how can you verify us? First of all you are from the competitor and we know about it.

Kindly keep the competition to good levels and don’t stoop so low.

This is the biggest scam ever!

This is the biggest scam ever!! I tried to book a ticket of $4300. It asked for credit card details which I completed using my sister's card (with permission) and then was asked some verification info which I did not have and needed to get from her. I did not complete the purchase and closed the app. I got a message from them to say I need to call Tripomate, but as I work offshore I couldn't. They said the booking would be cancelled even tho I did not receive a booking confirmation email or even a ticket, and would be charged a cancelation fee.
This is a scam and they do not issue receipts or tickets.
I have handed the matter over to NZ police fraud and they are dealing with it now.

This is what they deducted from me. No receipt or answer when asking for it.

I will cancel the previous transaction and release the funds.
Cancelation fee of $250
Taxes on booking : $348
Refund charges : $50
Expedited Payment processing :$50 ( so funds are available within 24 hours to you )
Total of $698 will be deducted and funds shall be released.

Regards

Hi Brendon

All of the cancelations were done after getting a confirmation from you. Despite lack of communication, our agents provided you services for which you need to pay for.

Reservation and Cancelations require expertise and travel agents don’t work for FREE!

Hidden service fees which are charged even when they can't fulfil the booking

Do not deal with them, they won't do their job and book tickets instead they will just fraudulently charge you a "service fee". They did absolutely nothing and charged me $35 USD - complete scam!

I tried three different times to book with Tripomate and every time I tried they couldn't deliver the tickets that were offered on Skyscanner. On my third attempt they hit me with a $35USD service fee - which is only mentioned once you make the transaction.

I have since got in touch with Skyscanner and hope to resolve the issue there as any contact I have had from Tripomate they are refusing to return the service fee. I am amazed a company this dishonest is allowed to operate, they are stealing money and not providing any service.

This was Resolved ! Service Fee is an agents only surviving means, thinking agents dont deserve service fee , speaks a lot about you. Should an agent work for free for you ?

I didn't even want to give them one star. They are an absolute scam! Too bad I didn't realize it until I hit pay. I have gotten most of my money back but I want it all. I have contacted NZ Police, UA and multiple other government agencies to help remove this vile company. If you are in New Zealand and they've scammed you start making reports with everyone let's get the shutdown and locked up!

" I have gotten most of my money back but I want it all "

Ms. Sherry here thinks that a Travel Agent should be in her service for FREE. She agreed and AUTHORISED all cancelation Charges and Refund processing fee, after which a net Applicable Refund was provided to her. Yet she is maligning a Travel Agents reputation and thinks threatening us Legal actions makes her feel like the BOSS. Her ignorance and BULLYING behaviour should be condemned and spoken for.

Her commitments and word carry little meaning and weight, she should understand that a travel agent is well within the rights to charge her for the services provided. Booking, Cancelations and Customer support via EMAIL, CHAT and 20 Phone Calls, with her, she thinks our Time and effort has no COST to it.

Fraud & don't trust at all

Thieves (it is just a website / no real offices, no correct phone numbers , virtual address , nothing real it is just a scam) they stole my money. I booked a ticket for 2 adults on December 2019 (1064 $), i didn't receive my e-ticket on my email even after 24 hours, i just received a payment confirmation email.
I contacted them regarding refund and cancellation , they replied that within 45 days the amount is returned and after reaching 45 days, we didn't receive any cent as a refund till now - they are cheaters and they will not give you a ticket and nothing, liars and fraud company.
Do not book any ticket through them you will be scammed.

The site for the monument They took the money and did not give me the ticket and during the contact with them they reply that within 45 days the amount is returned and after reaching 45 days they reply that the transaction exceeded 45 days and you did not continue to do so they could not answer - the important thing is forfeiture and swindlers and cheaters and they will not give you a ticket and nothing liar and fraud

Legit company but poor customer service

They are a legitimate company. I just got a ticket from them. But they need to improve a lot in their delivery time and customer service. I see many bad reviews here but thought I will share mine to help the company as I did get my ticket but with a hassle of course ! I found them to be responsive on support at tripomate.com.
