Ok, I'm going to come from a slightly different perspective to most.

Thanks to the OP for posting -after all, it's why I like ft.
To those being cautious, I understand why you are being cynical, but it's up to you whether you want to buy a ticket from this t/a or not, not on the OP to provide any proof whatosever -you pay your money and take your choice, so to say.

I personally have seen similar things done by certain ta's around the globe, but I would not buy a tckt from this particular t/a -it's my choice, but I don't expect the OP to provide any additional proof. The information should be treated on an 'as is' basis and we either take it or leave it -that's my opinion.

As to being fraud etc, I really don't know or care -but again, i can see why you would care if you wanted to buy this cheap ticket. In my experience, when things seem too good to be true, they often are. Having said that, I can understand how this would work and think that people should probably have nothing to worry about. If the agent is ATOL protected or an ABTA member then there's probably nothing to worry about. If you pay by cc and use travel insurance then even if there is one hell of an ADM leading to insolvency, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

That's just my view.
Thanks again to the OP for this info. -I appreciate it.
