SHERMAN, Texas ( KXII )- Make sure your trip is scam-free before packing your bags and entering full-on vacation mode. Spring break is fast approaching, which for many people means a quick get-away, whether on the road, a trip, or even a vessel. Some travel experts warn that if something seems to good to be true, it most assuredly is even though you may be looking for the best deals. According to the Federal Trade Commission, “free” or “discounted” holidays, foreign travel documents, vacation homes, and charter flights are the most popular scams. Scammers typically wo n’t give specific details about the travel offer and will want you to pay in cash. Here are some obvious signs to watch out for. They frequently press you into making a quick decision about a holiday package or leased, and they may sell incredibly low rates when compared to other components. Many scammers ca n’t even identify the company they work for. This applies to third-party webpages with no working phone information, according to the Better Business Bureau. According to travel professional, Bill Pedlar,” there’s a good chance that those people are never genuine vendors that you want to deal with.” When in doubt, use a professional, and do some research, according to Pedlar, may go a long way. He said,” No one among these professional travelers will put their name on something that they ca n’t stand behind.” Additionally, he added that credit cards are your best friend when you’re traveling. Credit card issuers” Credit card companies will generally walk by you to make sure that you’re treated fairly because they want you as a customer because you spend a lot of money all over the place, so they will assist you during that time.” All trademarks are reserved.
