LIFESTYLE HOLIDAYS VACATION CLUB HELPS TRAVELERS AVOID

TRAVEL SCAMS

When travelers go on vacations, they can take these steps to keep themselves safe from scammers.

Step 1: Avoid Scammer Notice

• The Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Scam Avoidance team says that tourists are often targets for scammers because they are unfamiliar with the area and less likely to notice inconsistences.

• Scammers look for clues that tell them someone is a tourist rather than a local including the way that they dress, and how they behave.

• Travelers who do their research about the area ahead of time can familiarize themselves with the location and its customs. If they are familiar with the area they will not stand out as much or catch the notice of scammers.

Step 2: Be Wary of Deals

• Sometimes, travelers will be approached by salesmen or vendors offering amazing deals on things like jewelry and valuables.

• Many of these deals will seem far too goo to be true and the Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Scam Avoidance Team wants travelers to be wary if they encounter these types of deals.

• Deals that are too good to be true should not be believed because the items are usually not actually what they are suppose to be.

• Travelers who encounter these deals should not accept them.

Step 3: Walk Away

•When travelers encounter people who are suspicious, offer them unbelievable deals, or who in other ways seem like they may be a scam artists, travelers should be wary.

• The Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Scam Avoidance Team wants to make sure that travelers are always protected when they travel and says that the best way to deal with suspicious characters is to politely refuse what they are offering and just walk away.
