Internet Scams And The Innocent Travel Companies Hurt By Them

The quality of Globe Network Resorts as a viable vacation idea relies on two perspectives—that of the agent, and that of the buyer or renter. On another level, two opposing forces involving the satisfied and the dissatisfied debate the question of quality, which, as can be seen, is merely subjective and relative to the preferences of the particular vacationer. This means that both views, one supporting the quality and the lack of quality of travel packages are considered acceptable when ascertaining the validity of said travel package.

This, however, does not dismiss the reality that scams do exist and surge throughout the Internet, nor does it mean that just because a scam is at play that a package by nature need be satisfactory or unsatisfactory. If a package doesn’t really exist, it can be neither satisfactory nor unsatisfactory. Therefore this argument is mute. Still, scammers prey on the personal beliefs of web users to make packages sound satisfactory. In this way, they lure the unsuspecting victim into a bogus deal without any fear of being discovered because the victim does not realize at the time that the deal is bogus.

There are times when such a questionable circumstance is deliberate. When independent “agents” (i.e. scammers) who once worked for a company might steal the company’s deal by posting it on an online auction site and then profit from it. This is done stealthily and so the ethical status of the transaction is dubious at best. In this case, the company itself is not to be blamed for scamming; on the contrary, that travel company is one of the victims. But because its name was involved in the transaction, the company is still hurt and considered suspect.

In elaboration to the above point that scammers do prey on the needs of the particular web user, many of these “agents” direly persist to “cash in” and therefore promise the buyer whatever is desired or needed. In this case, too, the scammer is not really a scammer but a desperate travel agent working for a company. Although the agent deliberately exaggerates the details of the vacation package in order to make a profit, the reputation of the company is cast in a suspicious light and severely damaged, even if it had nothing to do with the agent’s misdeeds. Such a misrepresentation can, and does, destroy everyone and everything involved.

Because of this type of unpredictable and unexpected behavior on the part of surreptitious individuals, travel companies, too, must be careful and cautious in their everyday policies and practices, not to mention those with whom they do business. When they are dealt a bad hand in an unfair game, employment seekers and vacationers are both affected as well because they lose out on great future business with an otherwise reputable company. Online business can easily stir heaps of mistrust and fear, whether understandable or irrational, when one party doesn’t know the other or isn’t working with the other face to face. Damage is hard to overcome once it has occurred.
