Travel scams are getting harder to spot. Here’s how to stay safe

Travelers are facing an increasing risk of sophisticated scams as traditional concerns like pickpocketing are being eclipsed by digital threats. Reports indicate that bad actors are leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance the effectiveness of their fraudulent activities.

These modern scams frequently involve the creation of highly convincing fake websites and the misuse of stolen personal data. The evolution of these deceptive tactics has made it significantly more difficult for vacationers to identify and avoid potential fraud while planning or taking trips.
