LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Travelers be warned, cybercriminals are looking to sail away with your money.
This scam draws people in with fake cruise ads created by bad actors. They pop up at the top of search results and promise unbeatable, limited-time deals. They are actually offering a cruise to nowhere.
The ads link to fake websites that do nothing but steal money. By the time travelers realize it, the criminals have left port with the fare and financial information.
To avoid getting scammed on the high seas, only book the cruise through reputable lines and travel sites. Verify any unsolicited cruise offers though the line’s official website.
Be sure to real all the fine print before booking anything. Finally, pay for the booking with a credit card. That will give the highest level of fraud protection.
