SUMMARY: Travel scams are increasing as more travelers book flights, hotels, and rental cars online. Scammers create fake websites mimicking major airlines or popular booking sites, often promoted via targeted social media ads. Yvonne Caron from Brand Shield warns travelers to verify deals by visiting official websites. According to the FTC, travel scams caused $274 million in consumer losses, averaging nearly $1,000 per victim. Scammers also fake customer service numbers, especially during flight disruptions. To stay safe, only book through reputable sources, carefully read cancellation policies, avoid private messaging for bookings, and always double-check contact information to protect your money.

It’s the start of the summer travel season, and scammers are taking advantage of travelers booking their vacations online.
