Google sucks allowing this crap

To reiterate:

Expedia is not involved in this scam. Scammers are posting phone numbers for airlines and for travel websites for customer service to get people to call them to make flight or travel changes and then they charge exorbitant fees to the people who were duped while pretending to be the actual travel companies or airlines.

Here’s an example and a Reddit thread about it:

If you are booking travel and not sure about something that requires customer service, please post here or in a place like Flyertalk where there are a lot of experienced travelers that can help you find legit customer service. Or at the very least, access customer service numbers by finding ones listed on the company’s own websites.

Don’t rely on AI or Google results that may spoon feed you to scammers!

Wait, did you buy a ticket by calling a fake phone number that you somehow got through a Google search? This is perplexing. I want to help understand it so no one else falls for this scam. But as someone who works in the travel industry, the gaps in your story worry me and make me think that you missed some major red flags along the way.

I have my own mom book travel through a travel agent in a physical office because I noticed that she sometimes struggles to distinguish legit travel websites from bogus ones.

So where did you buy the tickets? As in, what was the URL of the website where you entered your credit card info?
