Whilst jetting off on holiday is exciting and something you may like to share on social media, by doing so you could be advertising that your home is empty to potential thieves.

Resist ‘checking in’ and wait until you get home to share your favourite holiday snaps! 📸

Found an amazing holiday deal that looks too good to be true? Then it probably is! Fraudsters create websites and adverts impersonating trusted companies in the hope that you'll book your holiday through them instead.

Always:
✈️ Do your research into the company
☀️ Check that they are registered with ABTA or ATOL
⛱️ Use a secure payment platform from a trusted retailer
