Before you try to register at your upcoming hotel, ensure all details are in order.
The Better Business Bureau’s “Alert Against Scams” segment on WBBM provides advice for safeguarding your finances during summertime travels.
If you’re planning to travel this year, keep in mind that fraudsters are establishing deceptive hotel reservation sites that seem genuine in online searches.
Book with one of them, and you might find out that the reserved spot you paid for does not actually exist.
Moreover, you might encounter unforeseen charges, discover that your booking is non-refundable, and run into obstacles when attempting to cancel.
Always make reservations via the official hotel website, ensure you see a secure “https” link, be wary of warning signs such as bad spelling and strange billing inquiries, and verify your booking directly with the hotel beforehand.
