"15 million on line hotel bookings scams happen every year," he said. "There's no reason to use any other site except the one's we all know."
Falco says booking through places like social media and craigslist can be like playing with fire.
He recommends, "you want to check out the company with the Better Business Bureau and also search the reviews and complaints."
Always buy concert or event tickets from well known sites and get references and license and ID information for home improvement jobs.
