Watch Out For These 4 Travel Schemes [A photo of an airplane.]( Whether you’re planning a trip or daydreaming about one, beware these travel schemes. 1. Crazy Good Deals. If you could use a vacation, getting a call or email about a seriously good travel deal may seem like a dream come true. But the better the deal is, the less likely it is to be genuine. To avoid making yourself an easy target, always look up the agency or company name before giving out your information. 2. Rental Car Fraud. Scammers are getting better at creating official-looking websites, including sites that appear to be run by major car rental companies. Before calling or clicking to reserve a car, look up the company’s official website or customer service number and make sure it matches the one you’re using. 3. Traveler Program Fraud. Scammers have also been known to create fake application sites for trusted traveler programs like TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, because applicants need to provide a lot of personal information to get approved. The [Department of Homeland Security website]( can point you in the right direction. 4. Vanishing Vacation Rentals.

To avoid getting ripped off, limit all communication and transactions to official websites or apps.
