Don't fall victim to travel fraud

Many of us are desperate for a break away, whether it is a weekend by the seaside or countryside in the UK or sunnier climes overseas, after having experienced a year of uncertainty with travel bans, quarantine and basically, missed holidays.

But budding holiday makers aren’t the only ones thinking about travel and holidays, cybercriminals are also eyeing up the prospect of taking advantage of the ease of travel restrictions, not for holidaying purposes but for exploiting the desperation of those who need a holiday.
