Offering entire travel packages sold at auction, being represented as part of a group package that was undersold. Selling travel vouchers as products of a pyramid scheme. Selling a discounted vacation package, which must be paid for by credit card, but cannot be scheduled before the voucher expires. The best defense against fraud is knowledge and prevention. Here are some recommendations to help you identify and protect yourself against fraud.
Deals are usually trustworthy if offered through reputable travel agents.
Look at who is making the offer. Call the airlines to verify a claim before sending payment. Be wary if, while you're looking for travel offers, you see the same individual showing up with new deals. Understand the terms and conditions that apply to products or services being offered online, and if you don't understand, ask. Legitimate businesses will provide more information, but con artists won't.
