Don’t take scammers camping this summer. Tip-Off to the Rip-Off on WBBM Newsradio has tips for avoiding them.
As summer approaches, parents look for safe and engaging activities for their children, with summer camps being a popular choice.
Research is especially important in seeking a good camping experience to ensure a secure environment and protect your money and identity from fraudsters.
Parents should review to make sure they are not dealing with fake websites, and ask for the history of the camp, safety policies, and other references.
Camps should have clear contracts, and well-maintained facilities.
Also, be extra cautious of unsolicited emails, texts, or phone calls from people representing opportunities.
Visiting camps, meeting staff, and asking questions can help ensure a positive experience, making both parents and kids happy campers.
