CONSUMER ALERT!

Beware of the Middle Man.

An article on CompalintsBoard.com about this type of scam!

In the recent months many websites have popped up selling certificates for skydiving. They use names similar to local drop zones in an effort to trick you, the consumer. They claim to be operating a skydiving center on Long Island and make claims that they have the highest safety record and use the best equipment when in fact they are nothing more than a middle man selling certificates redeemable at OUT OF STATE skydiving drop zones. When you get your certificate, you find you have to travel very far to do your jump! Don't get scammed, and make sure to do the research.

Things to look for on a website:

No Hidden Fees

Many times you will see a price indicated on the web site which appears cheaper than the competition, but when you call and finalize your purchase you find there are additional fees. These additional fees often make what appeared to be a great deal more expensive. Our pricing policy is simple. NO HIDDEN FEES. The prices indicated on our website include everything to complete your first skydive, and video if purchased.

Business Address

Although the website may appear to represent a local facility you will be unable to find an address on the website. We are located at Calverton Airport. When you call ask them where they are located. Ask about specific information on facilities and aircraft. They may claim to have the best aircraft and safety record, but in fact they have no idea what you will be flying in or who you will be jumping with.
