Don't Let Flight Ticket Fraudsters Take Off with Your Cash

Action Fraud, the national fraud and cyber crime reporting centre, is warning holiday makers to avoid fraudulent flight ticket sellers as they use new tactics.

• The reporting centre has received 110 reports with total losses of £98,043
• Check with ABTA and ATOL to make sure a ticket sales site is legitimately authorised

The reporting centre has collated intelligence that fraudsters are attempting to entice victims who are looking for cheap flights abroad.

Action Fraud is urging people to be wary of unsolicited calls, emails and texts offering questionably good deals on flights. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
