CHICAGO (WLS) -- Travel is top of mind during the Labor Day weekend. When booking future trips, watch out for fake travel websites.
New data from BrandShield finds scammers are registering look-alike websites using the names of major airlines and hotel chains at a skyrocketing rate.
BrandShield says fraudulent domains tied to some major travel brands are up as much as 122% compared to last year.
Don't click on travel links from emails or social media. Type the company's website directly into your browser, double-check the web address, or use official airline and hotel apps.
