What is the "Fake Travel Booking & Visa Scams" scam in Brussels?

Question

Accepted Answer

Websites and email offers promise discounted flights, hotel packages, or visa processing for travel from/to Brussels. After payment via bank transfer or gift cards, no booking confirmation arrives, or a fake confirmation is sent with an invalid booking reference. Contacting the airline yields no record. Book flights only on official airline websites or established travel agencies. Never use wire transfer. Use credit cards with buyer protection. Verify URLs carefully (look for https and the official domain). Call the airline directly to confirm bookings. For visas, use official government websites only.
