Get Safe Online has offered six tips to stay safe
Despite growing up in the age of technology, new UK research commissioned by Airbnb has found 18-34-year-olds are scammed more than any other age group and lose an average of £1,150 each to a variety of different scams – in spite of being the most confident they would never fall victim to one.
As UK travellers look to take advantage of the May bank holidays, fraudsters may try to trick people into thinking they are booking with a legitimate company through fake websites, texts and emails, or even on social media. It comes as the new research also reveals one in five Brits admit they couldn’t spot a fake holiday or accommodation website.
Airbnb has teamed up with long-standing partner and not-for-profit online safety experts, Get Safe Online, to provide tips on how to avoid third party scams and safely book a trip ahead of the bank holidays, as Airbnb data reveals 10 April was the most popular time of the month for Brits to search for a spring getaway last year.
Tony Neate, CEO, Get Safe Online, said: “Many of us book our holidays online, and it is so important that we can do so safely, securely and with confidence. Two top pieces of advice to remember when booking trips and travel online – if a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is, and if you're booking with Airbnb always stay on the platform when searching for a property and making payments.
