How to Spot Fraud Before It Costs You: Scam Recognition for Travelers
US$19.99
Real, documented cases of travel booking fraud and tech support scams across the UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and New Zealand. Includes exactly what to do, and who to contact, if it happens to you.
Description
Every year, older travelers lose real money to a small set of repeating scams: fake booking sites, impersonated police officers, phishing texts that look exactly like your hotel confirmation, and pop-up warnings that convince you to hand a stranger control of your computer.
This guide covers five chapters: why older travelers are specifically targeted, how travel booking fraud actually works in each of five markets, how tech support scams operate, the habits that prevent most of this before you ever leave home, and exactly what to do, and who to report to, if you’ve already been scammed.
Every case and figure in this guide is sourced to a named authority, the FTC, Action Fraud, Scamwatch, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, SABRIC, and Netsafe, not guesswork.
This is book one of a three-part series. Book two, “Reframing Confidence,” moves past scam recognition into the psychology behind technology confidence itself, why hesitation happens, and how to build steadier ground for everything else, including staying alert to fraud.
