TRAVEL SCAM

Case#1

A unique kind of scam offering you with so much benefits by giving you free vacation trip by a certain company who will pay your round-trip ticket to a selected location of their choice. You were being notified through e-mail offering you to get a very very low prices in hotel accommodation where you will reside during the duration of your vacation trip. They informed you that you have to book today to avail for a very low price offer that will expire one to 2 days from now.If you decide to travel, you have to pay the booking rate of your hotel accommodation.

You realized later after paying the booking fee that you are being scammed. They did not send you the free plane ticket and you can no longer contact them. It is sad giving away money for free. Then it came into your knowledge that there's no such thing as a free vacation trip. What you paid to them goes directly to their own pocket.

Case#2

Another form of travel scam is from a fraudulent company lying to you about their travel packages or hit you with hidden charges. You received notification congratulating you that you have won a fabulous vacation to a certain country. All you have to do is to pay a small fee in exchange of a vacation certificate to a place in the Caribbean with wonderful beaches and appetizing foods. But you have to pay for your own air fare and other accommodation they will arrange for you. If it is a free vacation trip, why pay for your own fare and other accommodation unknown to you?

Don't be lured by any exciting free trip. If there is really a legitimate free trip, verify it first before paying the booking charges of the hotel. Check the existence of such a hotel and their room charges so that you have the idea to make the decision. Ask first the free plane ticket and have it in your hand before committing yourself to such a trip. Be wise and be smart.

It is better if you go to a legitimate travel agency even without a free plane ticket but you are assured that what you have to spend is reasonable enough and you can enjoy your travel safe, sound and comfortable rather than wasting your money for a trip that did not exist and it will only be your nightmare.
