The AI search summary presented a scam travel company phone number as the contact for United Airlines customer service. https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/houston/profile/travel-agency/fly-vault-travels-0915-90065162/customer-reviews
I called to change a flight, was charged CAD~$2,000 and no service was provided. Are there any guard rails for known scam companies?
