TravelStart Refund Woes: Is This Adventure Turning Into a Scam?

In February, I booked a flight through Travelstart and later requested a refund, only to be told it would take 6-12 weeks to process.

Back in February I booked a flight through TravelStart. I refunded my purchase and was told an unreasonable amount of time to receive my refund. Although I did not agree with 6-12 weeks to receive a refund, I waited.

It has since been 13 weeks and my refund has not been processed. I am concerned this company is running a sham or some type of fraud operation. It is the only explanation I have.
