🚨🚨 IMPORTANT TRAVEL SCAM ALERT! 🚨🚨
✈️🏨🚢 PLEASE READ & SHARE!
We want to make our travelers aware of a concerning scam involving hotel and cruise reservations that have ALREADY BEEN BOOKED (this actually happened to me!)
⚠️ HERE’S WHAT MAKES THESE SCAMS SO CONVINCING:
Scammers are contacting travelers AFTER they’ve made legitimate hotel, resort, or cruise reservations.
They may already know details about your trip, including your hotel name, travel dates, or reservation information, making their messages seem incredibly believable!
🏨 HOTEL & RESORT SCAMS:
You may receive a text, email, or message that appears to come directly from your hotel or resort. The message may claim there’s a problem with your reservation, that your payment didn’t go through, or that you need to verify your credit card to keep your booking- or ask you to check in online before your stay.
🚢 CRUISE SCAMS:
You may receive a call, text, or email claiming to be from your cruise line. Scammers may tell you there’s an outstanding balance, a problem with your booking, or an urgent payment required to prevent cancellation.
❗ THE BIGGEST RED FLAG?
These messages often create a sense of URGENCY, telling you that you must act immediately or risk losing your vacation!
🚫 PLEASE REMEMBER:
✅ Just because someone knows your reservation details does NOT mean they’re legitimate!
✅ NEVER click on unexpected payment links or provide credit card information without verifying the request.
✅ Don’t trust a message simply because it appears to come from your hotel, resort, cruise line, or booking platform.
✅ If something seems suspicious, STOP and verify before taking action.
