Going on a spring break vacation? Here's how to avoid travel scams.
It is spring break travel season, and scammers are trying to steal your travel plans.
Watch for third-party booking site scams. If you book your airfare, hotel or other travel through a third-party website, be sure to use caution. The BBB Scam Tracker has continued to receive reports of scammers pretending to be online airline ticket brokers. Avoid wiring money or using a prepaid debit card. These payments are the same as sending cash. Paying with a credit card offers some protection and dramatically limits liability from a fraudulent purchase.
"Free" vacation scams: Often offered as an enticing prize, these get victims to pay taxes, fees and other charges before they learn the offer is fake. Even when booking with a legitimate company, beware a low price may mean travel restrictions, add-on fees for air transportation, port charges, taxes, tips and other fees.
