Travel To Go Warns Travelers of Scams

For the 2014 season, Travel To Go wants to make travelers aware of scams that are

common while on vacations

About Travel To Go   Travel To Go is a leader in the luxurious vacation

resort accommodations industry.

  It’s a membership service company that has accommodations throughout the world.

  The company has been around since 1990 and prides itself in excelling in customer service and care.

“Free” Food Scam   One common scam is for locals to offer up free

food and drink to tourists while at eating establishments.

  However, the food isn’t free. The restaurant and the local are in on it together.

  After all the “free” food is provided, the local will suddenly take off.

  The tourists are then stuck paying a large bill.

Avoiding “Free” Food Scam   When a local comes up to you offering free food or

drinks, ignore them.

  It might seem rude at the time, but it will save you a lot of money and hassle in the long run.

Coupon Scam   Scam artists have begun creating fake coupons and

discount books.

  These books are then slipped under hotel doors with the scam artists phone number on the coupons.

  When the traveler calls to use one of these coupons, they end up giving their credit card number to the scammer.

  The scam artist is then able to begin using that credit card number.

Avoiding Coupon Scam   When staying at a hotel or condo while on vacation,

try and avoid using any services that have been advertised on flyers.

  If you choose to utilize these services, insist on paying in cash or providing the credit card once the food has been delivered.

Travel To Go Recommendations

  No matter where you travel this summer, Travel To Go hopes that you have a fun and safe trip.

  Don’t forget to be aware of your surroundings, and if something seems suspicious, follow your gut and steer clear of the situation.
