DoYouSPain + FireFly SCAMS Explained.
You book and pay for a car rental online.
You go to collect your car they ll make you wait and ask for your Driving licence and Passport.
After some 20min of typing (or pretending to be typing) on a keyboard under a counter, they charge your credit as they please, get a signature from you and send you off to your rented car.
The technics used:
1- They will charge your card without asking you.(insurance, fuel, insurance of insurance etc)
2- Next they ll tell you the car is to be returned with an empty tank? How on earth do you return a car empty? Which means they ll charge you for fuel (and hope you will return the car with fuel which will be sold off to the next customer), unless you decide to drive and use up all the fuel.
In my case a car rented at €78 ended up being €78+€148(ripp off extras)=€226 what a rip off.
I have reported them to VISA and in the process of disputing this transaction which i am entitled to for up to 4 months.
More updates on my case to follow in the next few days but feel free to ask, i usually have to deal with 1 or 2 of these rogue traders a year, getting the hang of it.
