Divya Delhi: One-click travel can take you anywhere in the globe today. Technology has revealed hidden threats with digital simplicity. Booking a hotel may seem easy. Stay vigilant when reserving a hotel, as more scams and traps are appearing behind sophisticated websites that might ruin your dream holiday. Travelers often feel booking through prominent websites ensures safety. Trusted sites include Expedia, Airbnb, and Booking.com. Still, criminals have cracked the system by building bogus hotel websites using cloned URLs. You may be charged for additional fees at check-in. Parking, cleaning, and other strange service fees are examples. One of the most prevalent scams is misleading offer proof. Based on photographs and descriptions, you choose a gorgeous accommodation, but when you arrive at the hotel, you're told it's unavailable due to inadvertent overbooking or maintenance. Finally, a much worse room is offered. This typically happens without a reimbursement.
