Scams

Feb 12, 2002 - © Diane Goldberg under the original topic name

If you weren't shopping for a travel deal and got a pop-up ad or an email you'd best ignore it.

Never give your credit card information to a company you don't know about.

Be leery of companies that what personal information before clarifying exactly what the package deal is. . .

Check to see if the company has been around for a while, do they have a street address or only a post office? Can they supply some prior customers name?

In travel as everything else, be cautions and listen to people who have used the service.

Keep in mind that there are great bargains out here --- especially now, but makes certain you are dealing with a company that really is there.

Until next week, happy (and safe) trails . . .
