Protect yourself against frauds

If the agency is Mexican, you can visit PROFECO's website (Office of the Federal Prosecutor for the Consumer) where you can consult if said agency has been reported for fraud previously.

Before you book, thoroughly read the terms & conditions; some promotions may offer something very attractive, which turns to be different once you read the fine print.

In addition to their website and policies, visit the agency's social media and be careful if you discover that the opinions are blocked or have many negative comments.
