Is Papa J's Travel fraud?

• Subscription Services: Some customers may inadvertently sign up for recurring subscription services while booking tours or services.
• Additional Purchases: Charges may result from optional add-ons like meal plans, upgraded accommodations, or excursion packages that were selected during the booking process.
• Deposit Fees: A deposit may be charged to secure a booking, which can appear as a separate transaction on bank statements.
• Cancellations and Fees: Customers who canceled their tours may still see charges due to cancellation fees as outlined in the terms and conditions.
• Late Fees: Some users reported being charged late fees if payments were not made by the due date.
• Service Fees: There might be additional service fees applied to the total cost of the tour at checkout.
• Currency Exchange Rates: International customers may see fluctuating charges due to currency conversion fees when transactions are processed.
• Unrecognized Transactions: New users sometimes mistake legitimate charges for suspicious activity, particularly if they do not recall opting into specific services.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the papajtours.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the papajtours.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with papajtours.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.
