The increasing demand for summer travel is also the time when many subjects take advantage of cyberspace to carry out sophisticated scams.

Summer is the time when the demand for travel, tour booking, air tickets and rooms increases sharply as students prepare to enter the post-school holiday.

Taking advantage of people's psychology of hunting for incentives and ordering services early, many subjects have deployed sophisticated fraud tricks to appropriate property.

Fake fanpage with green labels of hotels and resorts

Subjects can buy back or rent accounts that already have green checks, then change their names to hotels, resorts, tourist areas or reputable travel companies.

These pages often run advertisements and post content exactly like the official unit to create trust.

Creating a website that "imitates" the official interface

Some fake websites are designed almost completely like the official page. Users who do not pay close attention to the link will easily access it incorrectly and reveal personal information or make incorrect transactions.

Offering a "reasonable" price to avoid suspicion

Unlike before, many tricks do not offer too cheap prices but maintain levels equivalent to the tourist market. This makes users less vigilant and more trustworthy.

Request to transfer deposit money and provide fake code

After the customer transfers money, the subject will send a fake booking code or ticket, then continue to request full payment. When checking again, the customer discovers that the booking does not exist.
