Scams to look out for while hunting for deals on Travel Tuesday

Travel booking sites are rolling out deals on Tuesday, as the day after Cyber Monday increasingly becomes known for flight and hotel discounts. 

While "Travel Tuesday" promises savings on flights, cruises and stays as Americans set their sights on vacations in 2024, scammers are also hatching plans to rip off consumers. 

Fraudsters tend to pounce on shoppers around the holidays, a time when consumers make more purchases in general. Online retailers including Amazon.com say that while criminals never sleep, scammers are more active during this time of year. Generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are adding to the danger by helping bad actors devise more sophisticated scams.
