Loan Scams
Definition:
Before you sign on the dotted line, get all of the loan terms in writing, including the payment schedule and interest rate. If the lender isn't familiar to you, contact your state banking department and ask how to confirm that it's licensed and operating properly.
Travel Fraud
Definition:
Pay with a credit card. Fraudulent travel operators take the money and run, and even legitimate companies can suddenly go out of business. Protect yourself by paying with a credit card so you can dispute the charges if the promises aren’t kept.
