M and K Travel agency defrauded me with their scheme
Good news! As of November 7th 2005 at last the owners of MandK travel have been booked for fraud and grand theft of customrs. Just type 'MandK travel fraud' in any search engine like Google and you will see a host of other victims just like me.
 I was defrauded in July 2004 when 'Debbie' Randhawa quoted me a Singapore Airlines round trip flight to Kochi India for $1150. Their scheme is to discourage the customers from paying by credit card by adding an outrageous credit card surcharge of $100 on top of the flight price. Customers fall for this scheme as they, including me, end up agreeing to pay cash or cashiers check. When the payment in cash is made, there is no paper trail that way. Also their offices are always empty; they only open the door to grab your money. As soon as they get hold of the cash/check they exit the office immediately giving an excuse such as 'oh, I have to do an errand...' That is also a way to avoid witnesses since there is noone beside the person collecting the money; and the paying customer. You would think that there would be a receptionist, and a couple of other travel agents. Wrong! The posters inside the office is just a front or a make believe travel agency. It really is not a travel agency! They got me that way, and I never got my ticket. They are the most professional crooks you can meet as they will even smile at you after taking your money; and after you ask them for a refund many weeks later for nonexistent flight tickets. They are liars since they say they have booked the ticket; when in fact after checking with the airlines no booking was ever made. I was lucky to have enough money in my bank to be able to buy a second flight ticket to India from a legitimate travel agent. I also heard from a fellow victim of how M and K travel even scammed a poor UC Berkeley student who had saved her money for two years from her restaurant job to travel to India to visit her village/family. She also paid cash and never got her flight ticket. She went to a nearby travel agent to cry and explain her sad situation. MandK travel and the Randhawa family prey on defrauding South Indian immigrants since they figure that they will not complain due to language barriers; and because many of them are NRI workers on a visa and do not want to cause trouble. Stay away!
