Warning Signs
- Unbelievable Deals: Offers that seem too good to be true often are. Extremely low prices can be a red flag for fraudulent activity.
- Lack of Reviews or Poor Online Presence: Legitimate businesses typically have a trail of customer reviews and a solid online presence. Absence of these can indicate a scam.
- Misspelled URLs and Suspicious Domains: Scammers often use URLs that closely resemble those of legitimate sites but with slight misspellings or additional characters. For example, domains like "booking-secure928[.]com" or "agodabooking[.]top" are designed to deceive users.
- Urgent or Unsolicited Communications: Emails or messages that pressure you to act quickly or request personal information unexpectedly should be treated with caution.
