Be Careful Buying Skydiving Gift Certificates! Scams - balloon ride, hang gliding soaring skydiving.com certificate scams

A word of caution about who you buy a skydiving gift certificate from- Skydiving Gift Certificate and Discount Scams abound! If you are considering doing business with a place that offers Hot Air Balloon, Glider and Skydiving Ride Gift Certificates Nationwide, make sure they actually exist first. We have one location only, here at Skydive Orange, Virginia.

Unfortunately, there are many internet businesses that are in the business of selling other Skydiving Centers' Gift certificates, which wouldn't be quite so bad, except that sometimes legitimate skydiving centers are surprised to learn this unexpectedly when someone turns up with a gift certificate that the skydiving center was never paid for. I got a call from a Virginia drop zone owner who was surprised when someone turned up with a gift certificate from a new place that offers Skydiving gift certificates & reservations nationwide - but did not tell the Drop Zone that they are selling and taking money for their skydives!

Informing unsuspecting customers is like playing Whack-A-Mole.
