'These scams will not only leave people out of pocket, but also scupper their holiday plans. You may end up paying twice for flights or accommodation.'
Police are urging people in Northern Ireland to be on their guard when booking their holidays and watch out for tricks scammers use to con people.
"These scams will not only leave people out of pocket, but also scupper their holiday plans. You may end up paying twice for flights or accommodation." "There are also some really straightforward things that will keep you right when booking a holiday. Don't rely on just one website or review. If it's a fake there's a good chance others will write about their experience and some basic internet research will find it.
"Never pay by bank transfer - the safest way to pay is by credit card and, where at all possible, avoid paying by bank transfer to someone you do not know or have not met in person. If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is."
