That unbelievable vacation deal requiring immediate payment is almost always a scam. Fraudsters use urgency and fake travel sites to trick people into paying before they realize the offer isn’t real.

Keep yourself safe by watching for:

  • Requests for wire transfers, gift cards, or instant payments.

  • Travel companies you’ve never heard of.

  • Limited-time deals that feel too good to be true.
