Superfares.BIz are they good or bad?

I have a website with some GREAT airfare prices to Hawaii and I was wondering if anyone has heard of them before? The price is $200.00 cheaper then the prices I have gotten from anyone else (I have checked about 15 other sites) I dont want to use them if they are a fly by night company. It almost seem to be to good to be true and I know the saying about something being to good to be true. I hope someone can help me soon. I would like to buy the tickets with in a day. I would hate to miss out on a good price. HELP??

I also found some great prices on this site. I booked 4 tickets to Hawaii, and, after I gave them all my numbers, the site said my credit card wasn't accepted. Then I got an email telling me to wire the money to Bulgaria! That sent up a red flag, and I called my credit card company. They told me to cancel my card because it sounded like a fraud. The toll free number was constantly busy. I guess I'll just have to keep searching.

Hi, click in the search box for the name "Betsy". She too has a thread on about this website. Do NOT use it.

Apparently there is no longer any threat, as the website seems to have disappeared into space. It can no longer be accessed. My guess is they created the website, cleared several thousands dollars collecting money from people booking unbelieveably low fares, then broke it up and moved on. There was never a working phone number or an address of this company, so doubtful it can be found.

Jiffer:

You should repost this as more of an alert. There are a lot of people this would benefit.

Hi,

I just booked with them. Didn't know about the discussion on this forum. After booking I got an error message that there was something wrong with my CC. I couldn't reach them by phone or email. Started looking on google for possible scams and came to this site. I haven't cancelled my creditcard yet. Has anybody ad a reply on their emails or phonecalls?

As I mentioned above I sent both an instant and a regular email to them and never heard from either.
For several days the whole website was totally gone, so your post, kuijpie, was a real surprise. Yes, I see they are operating again.
I'd contact the credit card company immediately just in case. That could be part of the scam, to make you think it didn't go through so you won't try to cancel. There's something horribly wrong with a company that has absolutely no way of reaching it!

As of yesterday, 2/5/05, the website was back up. I almost placed an order but decided not to when I sent in a question and received no reply. When I tried to get back on today, the site was Forbidden. Boy, am I glad I found this forum. Otherwise, I might have made a terrible mistake!

Check out a similar thread on the Airlines forum. The URL is:
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...6&tid=34556354

Bottom line is DON'T GIVE THIS SITE YOUR CC INFO!
