  • Hi Lisa

    I was wondering if you ever managed to get the above ressolved? I have done exactly the same thing, i thought i was on the genuine site and have been charged 46 euro for this service. I am kicking myself for being so stupid, and I am so angry that companies are allowed to operate like this, it was not clear until i paid for it what had actually happened.

    I have contacted the company in the hope I can get a refund but i am not holding out any hope.

    I just feel so stupid and cheated.
  • Just to make all you scammed people feel better , I mistakenly went to Estavisas.org on the Google search and BEWARE I thought it said $14 per application so double for me and the wife. When I checked my bank account I discovered for the 2 applications we were charged $280 = £175 so it was not $14 but $140 trying to get some money back but hold out little hope from this unscrupulous company, after emailing them they said it was the services they provide must be solid gold, so if anyone can give me any hints getting something back that would be great

    Call them and ask for a refund ? Just a thought.

    Plus it's better to start a new thread instead of posting on one thats 10 months old.
  • No general phone no. only email which they did eventually reply offering no comfort at all trying through the bank, but again they say its my fault Its in the terms and conditions.

    If you have your Estas then they've done what you paid them to do. At least if you need any more you'll know to use the official website next time. Lesson learned.
