Cheapflights.co.za is a SCAM. I tried to book a flight through them today and R10k was taken from my credit card by Bravofly. The bank won’t refund me as they say I gave my card details so it is not fraud. This is totally unacceptable

Scam scam scam!!!!
Scam scam scam!!!!
Please don't use cheap flights!
They advertise flights from agencies who are scammers. They took R25 000 of mine and I haven't gotten it back, they said I'd recieve a refund however I am yet to recieve it.
When I contacted cheapflights to ask them if the flights they advertise if it's from reputable agencies and they said yes.
However my money is gone.
And they don't care, even though it's their website that THEY advertise scammers on so they just ad bad as the actual scammer.

The interface of the site is good. I would have liked, however, to be able to see alternative suggestions a day or two at either side to be able to choose between dates where flights might have been cheaper.
