Most honeymoon scams are preying on people who are really just wanting a great honeymoon or vacation. If you are like most soon to be married couples then you are very vulnerable to the scam. These people know that most likely you are on a tight budget with the planning of your wedding so you need a great deal. So below I have listed a few of the different types of scams to look out for.
Honeymoon Sweepstakes
When people give away free honeymoon packages most likely they never do. This is just a lead generation tool for vendors to get access to peoples information and then they sell your information to businesses who offer honeymoons and vacations. Then you will be getting annoyed because lots of businesses will be calling and emailing you.
Free Vacations
If you receive a phone call or an email stating all that you need to pay is taxes or referral fees then that is a tale, tale sign of a scam. You will never receive anything or ever hear from that company again. Do not let the word free distract you.
Time Shares and No Obligations
Another scam is in the form of the no obligations and time shares that offer you a package to go live in some great fun or exotic location. Most of these places will tell you limited time only or urge you to act now before it is to late. You need to double check your self. You can easily go to a travel agent and get a great deal on a package to your favorite honeymoon location.
Before you decide on any honeymoon or vacation you need to think twice and ask your self is it to good to be true. You need to check out the businesses history and contact the local better business bureau. We insist that you meet face to face with a travel specialist instead of booking your honeymoon or vacation online or over the phone.
These are just a few tips that you could use to help you avoid getting scammed. So just think twice about what you do before you open up your wallet.
