Scam About a Parcel, a Flight or a Booking? Check the Official Contacts
Scammers pose as couriers, airlines, hotels and visa offices. Here is what 53 companies and 12 governments officially publish: real phone numbers (and which companies publish none), the domains they use, what they say they will never do, and how to report a scam to them and to the regulator.
A phone number from a search ad, social post or text message is often a scammer’s. Fake airline and courier “customer service” lines and copycat e-visa websites are among the most common travel scams. Every contact here was read on the company’s or government’s own site, and we say where none is published.
