JetAbroad - how does this scam work?

Just guessing, but I would imagine many OTAs run on razor thin margins and survive on volume and some of them sketchy/limited support. If there are a tsunami of cancellations around the place over the coming quarter then I expect the cash-flow cupboard will run bare and one or more may go under.

From a vague memory, there are reports elsewhere on AFF of a different OTA that went under where passengers hadn't been ticketed and refused boarding by the airlines.
Interesting theory that will be interesting to watch how it plays out.

And you are probably thinking about BestJet that collapsed in Dec 2018.

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

I want to wrap this up - ultimately I did receive the tickets, they did work, and despite the communication issues, all flights went ahead as expected. Contrary to what I wrote above, I would buy tickets through this company again, if I felt sure I wouldn't need any changes or to cancel.

Good to see an OP concluding the story. And nice to know it was all OK.
