A "travel scam" is another version of the "cheat" philosophy, which is to obtain something dishonestly, and the unwary tourist is always the victim, I've
researched "travel scams" you should be aware of, including
the tips to avoid becoming a victim.
The wise travelers who travel for a living are especially
adept at spotting a "travel scam" and it would be prudent to read
what they say, for example according to Rick Steves, in Europe the travel scams
are particularly inventive, he offers his advice about how to avoid it.
There are also those ubiquitous "free" cruise
"scams," and I've found advice about it too, however, recently,
cruises that were supposed to journey the world for years have been
disappointing to those adventurous souls who sold everything they own to join
others like them who wanted to experience their best life now, instead it was a
life jolting disappointment.
Although the Irish ship now plying the Irish sea has a
good outcome, from what I read, this is a very old ship, which doesn't bode
well for future delays, adding to the cost of being a passenger are the extras,
like hotels and meals that expands the total cruise cost, some passengers had the
option of buying their cabin outright for $99,000, but during the delay they
still had to leave for the night to stay in a hotel.
If you are an avid traveler you will eventually be faced
with a "travel scam" so bone up on this important subject, and
remember if it's too good to be true, it is.
Meanwhile, happy traveling!
