Tips to avoid online scams
-
01Deals that are too good to be true could probably be scams! No Travel Agent can reduce the fare beyond the range where his profit gets hit. So, compare carefully with the market rates and if offered a deal that surprises, enquire with caution as to why the agent is able to offer such low rates.
-
02Agents who repeatedly refuse to meet you in person but instead keep forcing you to share your credit card details or pesters for a money transfer or cheque could be a fraudulent agent! Beware and exercise caution while transacting money to an unauthenticated agent.
-
03Do not share sensitive financial/bank details through messages or phone calls. OTPs, passwords, login details should never be shared through the wire.
-
04Always be wary of offers that try to lure you; free vacations trips, high-value gifts and huge discount coupons are more often than not traps to get you to spend more or lure you into a trap!
-
05‘Travel Cards’ from not so popular providers offer higher benefits but might not be accepted globally. Paying upfront for these cards might end up locking your funds when you need it the most!
-
06Double check about an agent and the services online and read the reviews. It is also safe to pay the agent a visit in the registered office to get an idea of the authenticity.
