When searching for tourist goods and services, it is essential to be alert to different offers or promotions that may be fraudulent.
An important measure is to pay attention to services that are sold at excessively low or lower prices than the rest of the market; When an offer is significantly cheaper than on other websites, it is recommended to be suspicious and compare on different platforms.
Another key measure is to carefully check links and websites. The authorities point out that you should not automatically click on advertisements or promotions, but rather review the design of the portal, the correct spelling, typography and its operation on different devices. Visible errors, poorly adapted pages or suspicious web addresses are often signs of fraudulent sites created to steal personal or financial information.
Finally, for travel offers or tourist packages, it is advisable to confirm the information with official institutions, such as the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco), as well as report and denounce any possible fraud.
