Holiday fraud is when a criminal impersonates trusted websites or creates fake adverts to trick you into booking a holiday and giving them your money or personal information.
Criminals may even research your social media and call you out of the blue to say one of your friends recommended you to seem legitimate.

Protect yourself from holiday fraud:
🔍 Always research the company you’re booking through and read reviews.
🔗 Avoid clicking on links from social media, emails or messages.
👫 If someone calls you out of the blue saying a friend recommended you, hang up.
💳 Always use a secure payment platform from trusted retailers – avoid paying with bank transfer.
