Scam Description

I booked a flight for American Airlines through Tarifasodeal.com. I was originally on Kayak.com which I’ve used before and somehow ended up in a bait & switch without realizing it. When I went to confirm my flight with American, I had no confirmation number. I saw that the email Tarifasodeal had sent was bogus. No money left my account, but after researching others experiences, they call you just before your flight and tell you it is much more Money and then charge you. Luckily I noticed this early enough to close my debit card and re-book the flight with American Airlines directly.
