Krystal International Vacation Club Reports That Scam Awareness is Key to Traveler Safety in 2014
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PRWEB) August 06, 2014 -- One of the reasons that travel scams are so prominent is that the criminals who run them are able to trick travelers who are unfamiliar with the customs of the areas they are visiting. According to Krystal International Vacation Club Scam Prevention Team, awareness is the key to reducing the number of travelers who fall victim to travel scams. The more travelers know about the ways that criminals are attempting to rip them off, the better prepared a traveler can be when they set out on vacation.
Uninterrupted relaxation is the staple of a great vacation. KIVC goes above and beyond to provide such an experience to each and every resort guest. Part of this first-class service comes with imparting the knowledge of international travel safety tips to ensure that travelers remain safe no matter where they travel to in the world. The Krystal International Vacation Club Scam Prevention Team provides the awareness tips below which are designed to protect travelers from theft.
Face to face communication is key in any transaction. According to Krystal International Vacation Club Scam Prevention Team, scam artists are much more likely to try and scam a traveler over the telephone or through the Internet. With this fact in mind, it is important that travelers conduct credit card transactions in person and only utilize ATMs that are in secure areas. Telephone scams and ATM skimming are two of the most well-known scams in the world, so travelers should always be on guard whenever they are utilizing their credit cards or giving out any financial information.
Criminals are always working on new ways to take advantage of travelers and according to the Krystal International Vacation Club Scam Prevention Team, even tech-savvy travelers are at risk. While some travelers enjoy completely eliminating electronic devices from their vacation experience, many travelers utilize their tablets, smart phones, and laptops for convenience. Whether they are looking up restaurant reviews or placing reservations, internet-connected devices have endless benefits for travelers.
However, some criminals are taking advantage of travelers by hosting contaminated wireless networks. These networks may look like an official network provided by a resort or restaurant, but instead they are hosted by a criminal who has programmed malware or spyware to be installed into devices that connect to the bogus network. Always take a few moments to verify the validity of a wireless network with resort or restaurant staff before connecting.
Following these tips will allow travelers to have safe and fun travel no matter where they go. For more information on carefree holiday experiences visit http://www.kivc.com/index.html.
