If you have been feeling bored or overworked, the
thought of a cheap or free vacation might sound pretty appealing…and scammers
know that! Scams are often effective on travelers because of their simplicity,
but with a little preparation you can avoid being an easy target. Before you
begin your dream vacation, bone up on these tips for avoiding travel-related
scams:
v Watch
out for unsolicited “deals” on fantastic locations. If it sounds too good to be
true, it usually is.
v Search
the Better Business Bureau and American Society of Travel Agents to make sure
your travel company is legit before
you give them any money.
v Always
use a credit card when making travel related purchases. This way, if you feel
you have been scammed, you can dispute the charge with your credit card
company.
v Be
on the lookout for “travel clubs” that offer “free” membership. Many times,
these services simply charge your credit card every month and provide few
benefits.
v If
you win a “free” vacation, don’t ever give out your credit card information. You
should never have to pay to collect a prize.
v If
you are working with a travel agency or vacation service, make sure to get all
of the details about your trip in writing. This contract will act as legal
proof in the event that your experience wasn’t what you were promised.

you will never be scammed.
