"Airline" phishing call: flight canceled, pay to rebook

Scam date: 2025-12-16 Reported: 2026-01-30

A call from "our airline": the flight was canceled, pay a $60 rebooking fee over the phone to hold seats. We almost paid. The flight was fine. Airlines don't call for rebooking fees — hang up and check your booking yourself.

"Free tour" timeshare pitch took 6 hours of pressure

📍 Cancún, Mexico

🗓️ Scam date: 22 March 2025

📝 Reported: 19 May 2026

A "free city tour" at the airport turned into a 6-hour timeshare presentation with lunch. The "free" part was a sales room. They kept our passports "for registration" so we couldn't leave. Politely refuse all airport "free tour" offers in Cancún.
