Airline ticket fraud is quite common, recently the vacation period is going on, due to which Interpol has alerted about it. Actually, at this time Christmas and New Year holidays are going on all over the world, due to which many people take flights and go to remote areas and cyber thugs try to take advantage of this.
In the internet age, most people book airline tickets with the help of the company’s website or an app, in which there is a high possibility of fraud. Let us tell you that earlier airline tickets were booked through agents, in which the possibility of fraud was negligible. Still, if you are careful, you can avoid becoming a victim of fraud when booking airline tickets through the internet.
Don’t be fooled by low ticket prices
If you are being offered an airline ticket at a lower price than the normal price during the vacation period, then you should understand that cyber fraudsters are trying to deceive you. During the vacation period, due to more availability of flights, tickets are more expensive than the normal price and not cheaper. Therefore you should not pay attention to such offers.
Cheating is the end of the deal
If an agent of any website or app calls you and says that there is limited time left to book airline flight tickets, in which you will get many offers. So you should understand that you are going to be a victim of fraud. In such a situation, you should wait and watch and book your ticket after testing that app and website.
Offers are written in small letters
Most airline ticket booking apps and websites enter information about flight offers in small print. Therefore, whenever you book an airline ticket, read these offers carefully.
