Three Steps to avoid fraud when booking travel online for your Vietnam holiday
Thousands of foreign consumers are victims of web fraud every year after booking bogus flights or holidays online.
Earlier this year a gang of internet fraudsters was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud after swindling one million USD from innocent holiday makers. The gang had taken-over five legitimate holiday firms in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi during a three year period. They then traded under various names, including Ciao Travel and Luxury Travel Ltd, and advertised cheap holidays that did not exist.
