This Might Be A Good Scam
For the first time I booked some return tickets on Virgin Blue using the internet. Got the prices, confirmed the times and credit card details and hit the 'Confirm' button only to get a page saying the server was busy/unavailable etc and to try again later. Scrolled back thru the arrow buttons to try and confirm again and it confirms but Bingo, the price of the tickets has gone up. I may watch too many conspirator flicks but is this a good computer programming scam to get the sucker in, automatically reject the first purchase attempt and then bung on a bit more for the second?
I then rung up their 13 number and after sitting through 20 minutes of platitudes apologising for delays a young lass explained that tickets were sold on a first come first served basis etc. I'm not completely dense and do understand yeild management, but when I then started to say: "So in other words......" That's all I got out, she just hung up!
Why didn't I use Ron?
