Online Holiday and Travel Fraud Advice
As one door closes, another door opens. What I mean by that is, that no sooner you try and close one scam door, another opens. John from Blacon has been busy and so very vigilant again as he has sent me this online holiday and travel fraud advice article. And of course, as school holidays are now in full swing, attention will be turning to holidays. So, this is yet another vital addition to our Chester Crimewatch category. Many thanks again John.
The original article is a Cheshire Police Alert, so let’s have a look and see what they are saying shall we.
Online Holiday and Travel Fraud Advice
Here’s the Cheshire Police Alert kindly sent over to me by John.
“Following a year of travel bans, quarantine, uncertainty and missed holidays, many of us are desperate to get away for a break, whether it’s a holiday in the sun or a weekend by the sea in the UK.
But cybercriminals are busy thinking about holidays and travel too. Not taking them but exploiting your desperation for a break, with fake websites, advertisements, emails, social media posts, texts and phone calls for holidays, flights, accommodation or pilgrimages that don’t exist.
Avoid disappointment and financial losses when booking a trip: start by reading our expert tips on searching and booking holidays and travel safely and securely. Our latest leaflet is attached but if you’d like to read more then visit www.getsafeonline.org.
Many thanks – the Get Safe Online team. https://assets.neighbourhoodalert.co.uk/images/site_images/76164_May21_Holiday_Booking_Leaflet.pdf
