[Resolved]  Thomas Cook — Overcharging for currency exchange

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

My father is travelling to the US and he wanted to buy some USD at the airport. Thomas cook at the Chennai airport, gave 86 dollars in exchange of Rs. 5000. When I asked them the rational for the conversion, they simply said, the exchange rate is 52.5 and the balance amount is rounded off and taken as service charge. The staff member at the office was rude enough to say that if you wish take or leave it. Please help me with whom should I approach to lodge a complaint and get my grievance addressed.
Best regards,
Kalyan

Hi,

I was travelling to malaysia last month. At chennai airport I wanted some dollars. There was only one counter of Thomas cook at the airport. They are mere cheaters who charged sold a dollar for 52.75 rs. I did not have an option and bought 810 dollars from them(40000/- ). I did not have an option and feel like I"m cheated. On my return journey I found they buy dollars for 41Rs. this is mere cheating when the dollar rate is 44.9 rs. I lost around 5000 Rs in this transaction and feel like I'm cheated. I want to register a complaint against them. Please help me out.

Regards,
Bala Rajesh
