Dear Folks,

A while back, we posted our story of how we got scammed by ticketing agents selling Arik Air tickets. Thanks for all your contributions. We shut thier website down.

Guess what. They're back with a new site. The story is told in full on our site http://www.arikairscam.com/

Please pass it on. We need to shut them down.

Arik should come out and protect it brand which have been ridden with scammers. I hate scammers. Hope they invest in social media and blogging to abreast with customers like how banks do. If so, such things like scammers will not surface because they won't find where to reap.

This says a lot about Arik air.If it is BA or Virgin Atlantic,They would have done all within their power to shut these scumbags down.

Bottom line is Arik doesn't care about their customers.And this will definitely affect them when potential customers avoid them like plague.
