It gets worse in our post-covid age. All companies are now openly screwing us over with no repercussions.

Go on a website, be it legit airline site or reputable agency. Book, pay for the flight. After payment, they inform you that the trip you booked (through their website) simply does not exist. Your only choice is to ask for a refund that will take 28 days. Easy, cheap cashflow.

Happened to me 3 times this year, Qatar airways (official site), Fram (official site). Happened to my friends and family, all post covid.

I need to go back to France next month, am 4000 euros down in "pending refunds", reached my cc limit and most importantly, have no idea where to safely book a ticket.

My issue with these laws is that they only seem to apply to individuals with little means and not to big corporations.

JP Morgan for instance, sends Swift transfers that are not AML compliant. They don't give a toss and nobody will ever look into their practices.

But if you're a small merchand on an e-commerce platform, you'll get a horde of lawyers harrassing you with KYC.
