Holiday season. Distinctive features of fraudulent websites.

      About internet scammers, perhaps everyone has heard. However, despite all the warnings and numerous cases of fraud, scammers still regularly find their victims and come up with new ways to steal your money. How can you recognize scammers and not ruin your vacation? Scammers often create copies of websites of well-known travel agencies, accommodation booking sites, or major airlines with low prices and cheap tickets. After payment through a dubious form on the website or to the personal card of a "manager," the money goes to the scammers, and the website or account is blocked. In addition to websites, scammers often offer their services in chats or through closed groups on social networks. Fake tour managers assure you that they will find you offers at very favorable prices, rush you to pay, claiming that these are the last spots or that discounts are currently in effect and the price will change soon. After payment, you are blocked or the "manager" stops communicating. How to protect yourself from scammers? Do not rush to buy a tour, plane tickets, or book accommodation. Carefully study the website through which you plan to make a purchase. It must provide all information - TIN, OGRN of the organization, legal address, and the possibility of feedback. Before booking, carefully read reviews about the company, how many years it has been successfully operating in the market, and its legal status. Check the domains of the websites for typos in the address. Be cautious if you are rushed to make a choice and payment or if the price seems suspiciously low. If you are offered to follow an unfamiliar link from emails and messages - this is a warning sign, you are likely dealing with scammers. Do not transfer payment for services to individuals. Never share SMS codes and other personal data with strangers. Stay vigilant and take care of yourself!
