Here are simple but strong tips to avoid scammers (especially for travel, online booking, and transactions):
1. Book only on trusted platforms
Use official websites or well-known apps. Avoid “too good to be true” offers from random pages or inbox messages.
2. Check reviews and legitimacy
Search the page, business, or person name + “scam” or “review” before paying anything.
3. Never pay outside official channels
If they insist on GCash/transfer to personal accounts only, that’s a red flag.
4. Be careful with too-cheap offers
Big discounts with urgency like “last slot now” are often pressure tactics.
5. Verify contact details
Legit businesses have official emails, websites, and landline/mobile consistency.
6. Don’t share OTPs or sensitive info
No legit company will ask for your OTP, passwords, or full card details via chat.
7. Ask for receipts or confirmation
Always request booking confirmation or official invoice before considering it final.
8. Trust your instincts
If something feels off, slow down and double-check before sending money.
