(Wisconsin Radio Network) Don’t get scammed while booking a summer vacation.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Lisa Schiller with the Better Business Bureau says you should only be working with a trusted travel agent or online booking site, rather than third parties.

Also be sure to only pay with a credit card and never use strange payments like wire transfers or gift cards. If you’re going to book a short term rental, don’t be afraid to check a map website to see if the property that’s being offered actually exists.

Schiller says any deal that seems too good to be true shouldn’t be trusted.
