An Ecuadorian in Argentina has scammed more than 200 people with assumptions «cheap air tickets«, I tell you what is known about Karyna and her millionaire fraud.
I remember that years ago there was a program on national television about Ecuadorians who lived abroad or if we also saw someone who was doing well we would say: "Ecuadorian who succeeds abroad". This is how today's story is born, what my friend warned me Sir Chandler: an Ecuadorian scammed many in Argentina.
A different story on the blog, but it is worth being told and shared so that it does not happen to us..
Ecuadorian scam with air tickets in Argentina
History is a trend in Argentina and more and more are affected, but what did the compatriot identified as Karyna do??
The topic is very direct, defrauded more than 240 people and this reminds me of the video I made to alert them about scams in aviation and what Karyna did is one of the most recent: offer cheaper tickets on social networks, that in the end they do not exist.
In Argentina they called it “Air Ponzi”, literally a scam and the supposed passengers do not know if they will be able to get off. What did Karyna offer?? direct tickets, flexible, with suitcase included at prices lower than the market average, They weren't that low either.. The scam is latent and even passengers have been stranded abroad.
Even, Karyna said that she had access to these cheaper tickets because she had "a contact at Iberia," a situation that the airline indicated that it was unaware of., but will carry out an internal investigation.
Thanks to word of mouth, he came to scam 240 victims and damage is estimated at more than US$800,000. The scam was very easy, The deceived passengers only had to send a passport photo and pay with dollars in effect and with this, notify Karyna with at least 50 days in advance of the required flight date.
It must be said that, Some passengers did travel with «Karyna Travel» until mid-July, but after that date the problems began and dozens of people were unable to travel, losing all their travel plans..
At the moment the compatriot is at home after spending a few days hospitalized., His cell phone and other items were seized as part of the investigation..
How do I avoid falling into a scam??
I always tell them, if you want to travel with peace of mind, Follow the airlines' official channels and quote on a reliable website such as Google Flights. There is no magic formula to travel paying less, but keeping an eye out for promotions and generating alerts in Google's own free system will help us achieve this.
When in doubt, yes a web, person or agency does not trust you, go back and better, pay more, but travel and travel calmly with a guarantee and where to go to complain in case something happens.
