Smartcheapfares Avis 

totally scammed; airfare itinerary, e-ticket, confirmation looked so real; DO NOT BUY, Should be put out of business; no one answers phone, only music; warning to all looking at their fares

They are SCAMMERS from the middle east, they put fake cheap prices on a fake page. They are connected to LOOK TO FLY

I wish there was a negative star rating, cos this is what these crooks deserve. Save yourself the headache, this is a scam and bunch frauds. I bought a ticket for a round-trip with fixed dates. I was emailed a confirmation email that had my exact dates on them but when my tickets were issued, they had completely different dates, about a week apart. I called them and they had no reasonable excuse. These company should be shut down. They are robbing people in the clear. The CS is a bunch of criminals cramped up somewhere and don't give a damn about the havoc the fraud is causing people's lives.

I had a thorough post submitted , and now I am told I will b e refunded. Awaiting confirmation on this from my credit card . Be sure to read details of any bookings thoroughly before paying them .

SCAM !!!!!!!!!Ordered tickets got email confirming with no tickets the got a call saying only 2 can be confirmed and rest can be on later date oh but with extra money , then asked refund and told pay 650 before getting refund. Called delta airlines and agent confirmed they've had trouble this company. And no tickets were reserved and there was enough seats. Told us to sue them. We called police and looking into every action. Oh They called 3 more times trying get 650 for my refund

They did not disclose that the initial charge was for "booking" only. They called back stating the booking was for a standby flight and I could add $350 to get a actual ticket, oh and the "Booking" fee is non-refundable. Total bait and switch scam. Since I didn't get what I paid for, the charge was disputed.

Wow, how bad can it get, arrived at the airport only to find out that our ticket has been canceled and a refund has been sent, then where is the money? Can't get another flight cause I don't have money to pay for it. Was never notified of the cancelation and when I called the company it took 20 minutes for them to answer then I was disconnected, called them back only to wait for another 20 minutes. Wow, I will write many bad reviews and never use these people again.

I wouid rate a negative star, if it was an option. This company is nothing but a scam. They offered an economy, discounted round-trip ticket, charged my card immediately and then called saying it was a flexible, non changeable and non refundable ticket but the airline was booked except for higher priced tickets and they could only issue the tickets if I paid several hundred dollars more. Bait and switch tactics got me. Live and learn, is all I can say.

I paid SmartCheapFares $139.47 on September 16 for October 3 Delta flights (Albany–Atlanta–Austin), confirmation QEVNXI. They never issued my e-ticket and never gave me an airline confirmation number — as far as the airline was concerned, my booking didn't exist. When I called on September 24, they fed me a line about a "promotional ticket" that couldn't be issued until October 2, literally the day before my flight. My bank ended up canceling the payment as suspected fraud.
They take your money and leave you with nothing to show for it days before you travel. Book directly with the airline instead.

SCAM SITE!! -Never got my etickets supposed to get them four hours afterwards. AVOID!!

The agent misled us and changed the flights to a city 4 hours away. Not what ee asked for or agreed to. Spoke to 2 different supervisors and all they did was argue and refused to correct their mistake or refund

I was stupidly lured in by the crazy cheap prices and made a reservation on Smart Cheap Fares (SCF). my credit card was declined. Capital One automatically declines transactions from them as they have so many fraud complaints. I canceled my card. SCF called and emailed me for the next hour until I finally blocked and reported spam. The confirmation code I received wasn't legit. AVOID!

This is not a real company, but just scam by bait-and-switch pricing. They lure you in with a cheap flight, email you a booking confirmation and then ring you the next day to say it’s a standby flight, and you have to pay more if you want a standard cabin flight. No refund of course. A bit later, you get a mail demanding you pay extra taxes. And so on.
Wonder why this scam business hasn't been closed yet.

Absolute worst experience EVER. They lie, they scam and they are unhelpful. They said the ticket was not confirmed and that there was no carry-on. Telling me i should have gone to their website, when i clicked on the ticket directly, not through their website. They lied and conned me out of an extra $100 for a carry-on I asked for. Instead, they "upgraded" my personal item 5lbs for the extra $100 AND changed my ticket for the next day. Then I had to pay $140 to the actual airline for my carry-on. I had to spend 30 hours in the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. Which, if anyone has been there, they won't let you into the actual airport until the day of your flight. I had to spend 24 hours in the lobby of the airport with no access to anything except the restrooms. I called their customer service line and spoke to a supervisor who kept reassuring me that their guy did nothing wrong. He sent me a document that said "personal item" and not "carry-on". That i paid the extra money so I could have the option to pay even more money for a carry-on. I went from $140 for the ticket to $400. I was going to go through the airline website but they didn't have the times I wanted, which is how I ended up buying their ticket. I could have bought a round trip ticket for less AND have a carry-on. SCAM BUSINESS! No wonder the BBB has investigated them! This was a life lesson I will not ever forget!!

Scam website, bait and switch.

They will rip you off and shred you to pieces. They will NOT issue a ticket and charge your credit card. Scammers need to be reported to FBI Cyber Crime Team

I wish I had checked this before I bought my tickets. Smartcheapfares site is a complete scam. I booked my tickets they changed the date saying the airline was overbooked for the flight I picked to go. I could upgrade at twice the cost of the original ticket to fly on the original date. When I went direct to the airline page it is not overbooked. Absolute scam. DO NOT EVER BOOK WITH THEM!

The only reason I gave 1 star is because a negative rating is unavailable!!!! BEWARE ‼️ I booked 2 round trip flights for a funeral, 5 hours later I was contacted by this company demanding another $600 to confirm my flight date or my flight would not be guaranteed. I requested a refund and was very rudely told it was not refundable.... Nowhere on the ticket site did it state the tickets were nonrefundab or dates were not confirmed, I fly all the time and this is the first time I've ever been contacted by a 3rd party demanding more money to confirm dates or they would absolutely be changed to a later date (not of my choosing) SCAM‼️ SCAM‼️SCAM‼️

I literally received a call 5 minutes after booking saying my flight is going to be cancelled and I needed to pay $159 more each way to secure a new ticket it’s A SCAM the people are rude af they need to be sgit down in just out of my money

I booked a flight and I made a mistake with some of the details. Ruby was so helpful and was able to get me a full refund!!
