Every new season or occasion, scammers are hard at work, and vacation seasons are one of their favorite times to strike. In-person criminals may notice that you're away and attempt to break into your home, so it's important to take steps to ensure your home is not a target. However, most cybercrime occurs when you're in the process of scheduling and paying for your trip. Buying a plane ticket? Arm yourself with tech tips to make your travel easier and cheaper. Additionally, be wary of a new scam involving fake plane tickets being sold by supposed "travel agents" or travel sites. These scammers trick you into providing your personal information and payment details, but instead of booking a ticket for you, they reserve a seat. When you check-in for your flight, you'll find that your ticket is nowhere to be found, and the airline can't help you. To protect yourself from this scam and other travel tricks, remember that if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Look out for signs of fake travel sites and always exercise caution.
