Scammers pretending to be travel companies may send phishing emails that may offer free vacations or premium vacation packages at a highly discounted price. These sites often ask for personal information before they give you the deal, which can then lead to identity theft. Be sure to research the site that offered you the vacation and determine its authenticity.
