HTTPSHELP.LODCA

I also got hoodwinked. I thought I was dealing with Hyatt and wound up with an Expedia booking thru “shell.lod ca’”. Have tried to get a statement of changes which seems impossible. This outfit is….

Hotel chains need to give a heads up to customers who are booking. Seems to be a scam

Thought I ws on Best Western's website and made a reservation thinking that I was on Best Western's legitimate website. Only to find out that this was a spoofing website and was charged $72.85 over the amount for the room. HTTPSHELP.LOD this kind of thing happens to many people and something shold be done about it. If I knew where they were I would take care of it myself.

I received this erroneous charge ($364.76) on my credit card after making a reservation online. I was looking for hotels in Madera so the charge for Lodi was obviously made by someone else. It came up on my card as hotel lodg* studio6sui httpshelp.lod ca

I made an online reservation for one night at the Embassy Suites in Parsippany NJ thinking it was a direct website reservation only to find out from the front desk (when I called to cancel my reservation) that my booking was through a third party called HTTPSHELP.LOD CA. Since I did not receive an e-mail confirmation from this 3rd party, I googled the company but none showed up. I called Capital One and fortunately, they had a contact number which I am sharing with you 888-308-4415. I called them and was told I will be able to get my refund in 10-12 days. We shall see!

Thought I was making a hotel reservation at Wyndham's website for a room posted at $102. I was billed $151.38. Added without my permission was a charge of $11.35 for something called reservation insurance. I cancelled the reservation. They agreed to refund $139.50 which showed up in my bank account, but hours later, that refund disappeared. I will inform Wyndham's corporate headquarters of this spoofing scam as well as my state Attorney General as well as TV stations that have investigative reporters. The person I got to speak with online did say he was talking from Columbia. Scam, scam, scam!!!

Same thing as others that posted -- was attempting to make a reservation in Fullerton, CA and somehow ended up on a spoof site. When I attempted to request refund, I did not receive my entire charge back.

Like everyone else, thought I was making a reservation for The Parkview in Syracuse on their website but Expedia scammed me. My bad, I'll take the $25 hit as a stupid tax but will never use Expedia again.

In June, I thought I was making a reservation for Central Motel in Florida. The lady who answered the phone confirmed that it was Central and asked how she could help. I made a reservation and, like others, was fraudulently charged for travel insurance. I was notified of the charge on my telephone and when I saw it was higher than agreed, I immediately called the number back (all of this took place in less than 15 mins). They agreed to remove the insurance charge -- which they have not done as of yet. I called my credit card company and they are working with me as they waited to see the charge appear on my statement. Not sure what the outcome will be at this time but this is fraudulent and a scam . . . .

No longer have the details but hopefully this will help someone. Wife got sucked into the hotel reservation spoof for around $1000 with insurance and junk fees. Called their number and they reversed the insurance, around $150, but even though I cancelled the reservation through them they would not return the rest!! (They even sent a cancellation verification.) OK, since it was charged to my Wells Fargo credit card I disputed the card with WF and in the documentation included a screen shot of the their Better Business Bureau rating of F! So far I have received everything back except for around $25 which WF says is still owed me. Moral: dispute this garbage with your credit card company (hopefully you always use one for online transactions).

Same as others; made what i thought was a Choice hotel reservation website.Was charged a $45.45 above the bill at the hotel.Disputed my charge card and Choice hotel,no luck GOT SCAMMED 888-271 -5061 is not legit

I too thought I was booking through Hyatt Regency Cincinnati only to be told that the reservation was through Expedia. My credit card statement shows this as the merchant-httpshelp.lod ca. They took $1,487 for four nights at Hyatt. We will be reporting them to the BBB and our state Attorney General.

Avoid this company! They charged me almost double the going rate for the W Los Angeles. I'd like to cancel the reservation and rebook with Marriott, but I can't. I thought I was dealing with Expedia. The W Los Angeles lists the reservation as an Expedia reservation, but it's not. They even fooled the hotel!

I booked a hotel stay at Days Inn by Wyndam in Athabasca through the Expedia site. I never received a confirmation, so called the hotel to confirm there was a reservation there in my name. The rate per night was $132.56. When I received my credit card statement, the charge was billed though HELP.LODGING.CA., a site I had never heard of, nor visited. I was billed $215.83. The charge was put through in US dollars. I called my credit card company, who told me that without a confirmation, they couldn't help me. I too tried finding a way to contact help lodging, but google turned up nothing. I saw that someone above had posted a phone number for them ( 888-308-4415), so I've called and they'll send me an email, I guess we'll see what happens. I'm not computer savvy enough to know how people are getting kicked over to this spoofing site from Expedia.. but lesson learned for me. I will only be booking directly with hotels from now on.
