Belgrade with sportsfirst eu

[goonerchef]

On the way into the ground yesterday I was handed a travel leaflet from sportsfirst, advertising cheap travel including hotel to Belgrade, they have sent me an itinerary flying via Zurich, also details of a hotel. They are asking for no payment untill I get confirmation from the airline and hotel. It seems to good a deal if I'm honest, has anyone used them before or heard of any scams involving this company?

[crocit]

how much was this? and was it 'Sports options'?

[goonerchef]

Sport First was the company and £200 return

[crocit]

hmm, was there a website on the leaflet?

[Connolly55]

That sounds a good deal.

www.sportfirst.eu

I got handed one of these flyers as well, prices did seem low.

Would be well up for it at this price, that website looks kinda dodge though I particularly like how the payment form is a completely unsecured page

I'm not convinced!

[topgoon]

just had a look at it as well, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, has scam written all over it.

I've trawled around and all the flights are well expensive for both Belgrade and Donetsk, upwards of £300, with Donetsk being minimum of £450.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is

Do it, would make for a good post afterwards You can tell us if it's legit or you got scammed.

If you even make it back. You'd probably end up in a bin bag on the side of some Serbian highway...
