I know this is my first post, but I just want to say travelerking scammed me out of 3 BTC's off the escrowservice site he suggested and has not replied to me. I suggest anyone considering this STAY AWAY. This site should also be reported as scam as well as he is obviously somehow involved with the site.

What escrow site did you use and how did you manage to get scammed exactly?

There is a difference between partnerships between large companies / travel agencies with some hotels and "60% of all expedia hotels". No way Expedia has 60% margin. But yeh, I guess I was only 99% sure too (well 100% for myself) and hoped it was somehow legit, because otherwise I would have replied sooner Sad

I was one of the ones hoping for the best. Mainly for flight tickets it could've been a nice saver Wink

I've been working on an offer I got for a few budget airlines (wizzair/ryanair/easyjet etc) that were priced at 9 euro per single leg, to be booked within certain periods.

That is a normal and genuine offer, if bought wholesale.

This has been an obvious scam since the beginning. Classic way to cash out some stolen creditcard, sell it for bitcoin. Do it 1 time legit with a trusted member to build up some reputation. 60% discount... really guys? Sorry for your loss though.

Not necessarily. Lots of large companies get extremely large discounts on flights & hotel rooms.

It's still possible to give these steep discounts. This type of stuff: http://www.travelready.org/PDF%20Files/Travel%20Agents%20-%20FAM%20Travel%20Discounts.pdf

Still no reply or money back from op..

Could you elaborate a bit more? Maybe post some proof or something? Since a newbie account with 2 posts doesn't really look legit Wink

I know who to talk to the next time I have to travel. Advance notice needed?

yeah, Seems you need to notify around 15-30 days before, as mentioned in the OP.
I have a question for the op. Suppose I plan on booking a hotel, then the op says:

"5. You can then call to check the hotel by yourself.
6. Release the funds when you checked-in. "

Now if I was to call the hotel, will the amount have been received for the booking, or would they just tell me that I have a booking on my name ?

From my experience, I called the hotel three days prior to my booking and also on the day of the booking to confirm that the room has already been paid for online and no further charges would be made other than mini bar, room service etc.. The only thing I had to do was put bond down and get that back upon checkout. I've checked my statements, I haven't been charged anything extra since my visit

Nothing charged since? There is one newbie in the thread screaming scam, so wondering how the first customer is going on Wink

i would like to warn about this. i ordered a hotel which was booked and i sent btc for it.
the day before i check in the hotel calls me and im told booking gets canceled.
travelking refuses to return my money and says i have to use it up. i then choose a different hotel,where im told to check out after the first night.
travel king still refuses to refund my money and says i have to pick another hotel because he will be on vacation for the next 2 months
