I rarely read T&Cs, and I never compare T&Cs of a company I'm about to buy from to their competitors' T&Cs, so I suppose the answer is yes, I do feel comfortable.

Let me be clear, I doubt I'll be buying from these folks. I'm not telling anyone else to buy (or not to buy) from them. However, this is Flyertalk, and many of our members have over the years worked deals that a "normal" person would think impossible. Some of our members have started this discussion, and some have indicated an interest in the deal. There may be some gambling types who are willing to plop down $99 just out of curiosity, and others just sit back and watch as the mayhem unfolds. For all of them, this thread remains open.

Did anyone actually book a flight?

I am considering playing with the fire and giving it a shot on a one-way to ANC.

AS 870/871 can be had for under $500 RT... Hmm RT for $199 sounds tempting

No, but they sent me the initial email to an email address that I only used for AFT bookings. There were also some greek emails sent to that same email address some weeks and months before, touting some new greek site.

One more point... check out their linked in profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/airfasttickets
Headquarters: 875 Third Avenue New York, NY 10022 United States
Dealber is just down the street..

That link you provided lists Nikolaos Koklonis who is also behind AFT
https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikolaos-koklonis-526b3a2a

BTW. dealber itself is registered through a proxy-domain service, meaning you can't find the contact behind it. Why would a legit company do that?

I think everyone knows you guys think it's a scam. I don't think anyone's mind is being changed.
instead of saying it over and over based on your amateur sleuthing, let's just wait and see what happens, and you can come back and say I told you so if appropriate.

It's obvious that some are willing to spend time disputing credit card charges.

Good luck to them and any potential identity theft which may occur once you have entered your passenger details (including address, full name, etc.).

Bienvenue to FT.

1) Never been to Maimi airport.

2) Ads never lie?!

3) Hogs get fat. Pigs get slaughtered.

If you are so bothered by the thread, then stop posting.

And giving your address and name isn't really what leads to identity theft, considering that's often easy to find via Google.

I do agree we can all stop posting on this. The lessons learned here include the starter/OP - as the next scam/start-up will have proper math and a grammar checker.
This posting helps such fly by night organizations correct their woes and do it right next time so I hope the OP and others pay attention to the feedback vs. simply feel crushed by the negative feedback.

E.g. next time R/T should be $198 - get the math correct!
