Spring break can be a fun and memorable experience which is why it is important that you prepare to face and issues like scams early in the planning process.

Scams in Booking

When looking for a place to stay for spring break whether it be a hotel or house, many websites may promote or falsely advertise places that are not as nice as they appear or in some cases are nonexistent. To avoid this, make sure to book from safe sites such as Airbnb or directly from a hotel’s website. If you are purchasing from an outside site, make sure to use a secure payment system. It is best to use your credit card to pay instead of a gift card or outside payment apps as they are less protected from fraud and harder to track.
