How to fill out avoiding holiday scams

1. Research the company or organization offering the holiday package or deal. Look for reviews and feedback from previous customers to ensure their legitimacy.
2. Be cautious of deals or offers that seem too good to be true. If the price is significantly lower than what other reputable providers are offering, it may be a scam.
3. Don't provide personal or financial information unless you are certain about the trustworthiness of the website or service. Check for secure payment methods and encrypted websites.
4. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or opening email attachments from unknown sources. Scammers often use phishing techniques to collect personal information.
