On the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025, with a 9-day holiday, people's travel needs have increased dramatically. The convenience of booking airline tickets, booking hotel rooms online and package tours has attracted a large number of customers. However, along with the development of online tourism are increasingly sophisticated scams.
Many subjects have taken advantage of consumers' psychology of looking for attractive incentives to commit fraud. They often impersonate employees of reputable airlines and travel agencies, or create fake websites and fanpages to advertise airline tickets and tours at extremely cheap prices, along with attractive promotions. When customers show interest, these subjects will ask for money to be transferred in advance to their personal accounts as a deposit or to pay the full amount. After receiving the money, these subjects will "evaporate" without a trace, causing consumers to lose money.
The situation of creating fake fanpages and fake invoices from travel companies to sell tours, airline tickets, and hotels increases near Tet.
In the face of increasingly sophisticated fraud, it is especially recommended that people be especially alert and careful when booking rooms or buying tours. It is extremely important to check and verify information about the location, facilities of the accommodation as well as the background of the service provider.
To avoid falling victim to these scams, consumers need to be extremely alert and careful when ordering travel services online. You should choose reputable service providers with clear addresses and full contact information. Before deciding to order, carefully research information about the product and service, read the terms and policies of the supplier. In particular, you should not transfer money to the seller's personal account but only pay through reputable online payment channels.
People need to be alert to celebrate Tet At Ty safely and happily.
If possible, go directly to the location or contact the unit's official phone number to check the information. In particular, in case of doubt, stop the transaction and immediately notify the competent authorities.
Authorities also need to strengthen inspection and strictly handle fraudulent acts in the tourism sector, while stepping up propaganda and warning people about common fraudulent tricks.
With the above information, we hope that consumers will equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to protect themselves from scams, and have a happy and safe Tet holiday.
