Tips to Avoid Scams

As demand for flights and hotels increases, fraudulent websites and fake agents start advertising exclusive travel upgrades or insurance deals. A recent Federal Trade Commission report reveals that 55,000 Americans reported travel scams, resulting in a median loss of nearly $1,200 for each victim. 

Besides the financial loss, many people and families save and plan for special vacations with loved ones, only to have their dreams shattered by travel insurance scams. Low prices, instant approval, and guaranteed refunds lure vulnerable consumers. Fraud victims often realize their coverage never existed only when they try to file a claim or use their “exclusive” offers.
