News Service, Bangalore:18/11/2007
A frequent flier and a top executive of an
education consultancy firm was taken for a royal ride when an online tour and
travel company made away with around Rs 11, 500.
According to
complainant, Bimaljeet Johar, Johar Group President booked two plane tickets
from the Ezeego One Travels and Tour through their website https://ezeego1.com.
The travel company was offering 25 percent cash back offer on ICICI credit
cards. Bimaljeet told Deccan Herald, she registered with the travel agency
and got the booking reference EZR-2007-239509/A.
The tickets were for the Jetlite Airlines for November 14 for
Bangalore-Delhi and Delhi-Bangalore on November 21. She said, the booking
was confirmed via email and she received an itinerary email. She paid Rs
7, 324 for the two tickets.
On November 8, she again booked a ticket
for her son for Bangalore-Delhi for December 2(PNR: S2-J535D), Jetlite
Airlines, under the same cash back offer. This time the booking reference was
EZR-2007-312280/A and the cost of the ticket was Rs 4114.
She was taken aback when she reached airport and learnt that her PNR was not
confirmed because the Ezeego company did not pay money to the Jetlite. Not only
her ticket but also her son’s ticket was also not confirmed.
She was shocked when she tried to contact the Ezeego ‘helpdesk’, but there was
no response. The Jetlite officials asked her to pay more money to buy tickets
if she wanted to travel.
After reaching home she again tried to contact Ezeego helpdesk but in vain. At
last she lodged an FIR with the Airport/HAL police asking them to register an
offence under the cyber fraud and cheating.
This paper too tried to contact the customer care number 1800220177 of the
Ezeego One Travels and Tour but there was no response from the other end.
