As the holidays approach, it’s a great time to travel, but it’s also a time to be extra vigilant about scams. Here are some quick tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable trip:

  • Only Trust After You Verify: Always double-check hotel and flight deals and make reservations from official websites. 
  • Beware of Phishing: Beware of unsolicited emails or messages offering holiday deals. Do not click on links from unknown sources - they often take you to fraudulent sites.
  • Protect Your Information: Make sure your financial and personal information is secure. During busy travel times, scammers are looking for easy targets.
  • Watch Out for Fake Rental Listings: Are you looking for a holiday rental? Book only through reputable websites. Avoid transferring money directly to individuals for rentals you haven’t verified.
  • Report Suspicious Offers: Report any potential scams to the relevant authorities. Help keep everyone safe and informed.

It’s important to remember that being cautious doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Be smart, travel safely, and make the most of your holiday memories.
