Ticket booking agencies warning

[defitzi]

:-x warning
ticket booking agencies riding oon the back of comission are becoming notoriuous for their schemes to con travellers into believing they are offical sites onlyor buyers to fiund -usually in tine print at he end-that they have been purhasing tickets from a third party at inflated (service charge etc) prices.
The latest and most blatant deception I have found occurred when I Googled Harwich Hook ferry and got Stena Line.org which, when opened proved to be-Direct Ferries.
But the opened site still attempted to disguise the fact that it was NOT Stena Line's offical site.
These tricksters are forever at it -but beware-if you fall for it it will cost your over the odds. It pays to examine whatever booking site opened with great care!:roll:

Thanks for the suggestion but some of us especially older folk like me (73) were not born with computers in our heats- I've had to learn about forums the hard way and that in the past two months.......

My interest is in railways and transport and in railway people and things: computers are just a necessary means to an end
