🚨 Travel Scam Warning 🚨
I was recently notified about a nasty travel scam that's catching a lot of people, and I want to make sure everyone here knows how to protect their families.
Please share this with your parents and grandparents.
Scammers are preying on people (especially the elderly or less tech-savvy) who run into an issue with a flight, cruise, or resort booking.
Their first instinct is to Google the customer service "1-800" number.
The problem is, scammers are creating FAKE websites that look official, complete with fake phone numbers.
Your loved one calls, thinking they've reached the cruise line or airline, and ends up giving their credit card info or personal details to a criminal.
I don't want to see anyone's dream retirement trip or hard-earned family vacation turn into a financial nightmare.
So, please tell your family (and remember for yourself!):
• NEVER Google a customer service phone number for a travel company.
• ALWAYS use the official phone number printed on your booking confirmation email or travel documents.
• If a cruise line or resort calls them unexpectedly about a "problem," tell them to hang up. They should then find the official number on their travel documents and call that number back to verify.
• If they booked with a travel advisor, tell them to call their advisor first!
It takes two minutes to pass this info along, and it could save them so much heartache.
