No have you anything to do with them?

No I paid a deposit for flights and now the phone number doesn't work!

Why would you book flights with a travel company based in India? They aren't bound by the protections we have in the U.K., most importantly, Data Protection. This leaves you wide open to credit card fraud and identity theft.

This is the third post about travel agents and they all end up in India.

The address was London and had the ATOL number for a so called parent company!

Yes and i believe it to be a scam site as their website is invalid and both phone numbers do not go through as they have been disconnected. I know of someone who bought tickets through them and unfortunately paid by bank transfer and 5 days after full payment of £4000 their tickets were cancelled by the agent with no reason as to why they cancelled. The victim of the scam only found out when they were checking their tickets online on emirates website.

Why do people continue to use dodgy tin pot companies to save a few quid?! It's beyond me.

I reported them to Action Fraud and have to make a statement. I kept on at them and was very lucky to get my money back.
