Travel agent asking to deposit money to BoA. Need help!
Hi Fellow Flyers,
I am trying to book two tickets to India thru a agent called CitiAir from NY.
They sent me a itinerary about the flight details and after going thru all I was OK with booking. For my surprise the agent told me that they cant take Credit card payment (Saying British airways flights alone dont except credit cards and he could do for other airlines) and asked me to deposit money to their BoA account. After telling I do not have BoA account, they tell me to deposit cash by going to Bank. This sounded fishy and I just told I need time to think.
Later I checked the reservation number in ba.com and I see the seats confirmed by them and all my details are accurate.
Please help! Is this safe? Any one has ever done bank deposit for booking flights?
