I didn't know your entry was refused until recently

Yeah they took my money and sent me back home.

 

[Sylvain]

Both Actually I do have to make dinner before I drink tonight

That's wise to do it in that order.

 

[Caleb]

Yeah they took my money and sent me back home.

that sucks

 

[RedneckReject]

that sucks

There were quite a few disappointed INGOers over that situation

 

[Sylvain]

I thought about posting the whole (long) story of what happened with the US Customs.

Some non-INGO members too.

I also have been told "they were just doing their job" by some.

Well I'm sure they may have been, but they didn't have to be a-holes about it. They could have been a little more respectful

I would read it if you wanted to share

Yeah they destroyed a bunch of stuff, trashed documents (including an ironic one ) and were not very friendly.

 

[RedneckReject]

I would as well. From what I already know it sounded ridiculously horrible

Some things were so ridiculous you would probably think I made them up.
Like asking me to pay for my return flight and many other things.

Seriously? That is asinine! Did they think you just had mass amounts of cash to throw away on an international flight???

 

[Caleb]

How does mexicans get a free pass?

They don't come in through the airport

Yeah they canceled all the flights I had later this day and my scheduled return tickets, in my name.So later I couldn't get refounded by the airline as it showed on their records that I asked to cancel all those flights.Which I never did.So I lost $$$

I refused to pay for anything of course so they told me the airline had to give me a ticket anyway.
They also had to provide food and everything like the rest of the passangers who paid for their ticket.
I never be so glad to find airline food when I got in the plane.I was so hungry.

And they probably dont have ID.They knew where to send me back.

To me that's not "just doing their job", that's being a complete douche. Now I don't pretend to know exactly what their job entails but I'm sure there are better ways to go about denying someone entry

Where did you come from originally?

I had 3 flight tickets I didn't use, they exchanged it for a one-way ticket.It's not the same price at all.I wanted fully refounded by the airline because I didn't get to go where I wanted.Or at least have the 3 tickets I didn't use refunded.
But since they exchanged all my tickets for that one-way ticket I cant get refounded.
If I missed my flight or the plane crashed halfway during the route I could have been refounded for the tickets I didn't use.
Not sure if im clear.

I found about that when I got back home.They never asked me if I wanted to exchange tickets and I never spoke to the airline.

Where did you come from originally?

Paris.

There should be something you can do about that because it's complete BS. I'm not sure that there IS anything you can do, but there SHOULD be. I would throw a total fit to anyone in a high place that was willing to listen. And even those that aren't willing
