Police Warn of Scams re Holiday Bookings

Police warn that criminals are taking advantage of the increasing number of people opting for staycations by advertising “too good to be true” deals.
Challenge – Could it be fake? If it’s at a rock bottom price ask yourself why.
Always remember:
Read online reviews from reputable sources to check websites and bookings are legitimate.
Access the website you’re purchasing from by typing it in to the web browser and avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails
– Use the secure payment methods recommended by reputable online retailers and don’t accept requests to pay separately via bank transfer .
– Where possible, use a credit card when booking holidays over £100 and up to £30,000 as you receive protection under Section 75.
