Join Our Free Webinar: Protecting Your Travel Agency from CC Fraud
Oh my goodness, you guys. Do I ever have a treat for you! As a follow-up to our last article on travel agency fraud, we're putting on a webinar with ARC. We're going to help make sure you're up-to-date on how you can best protect your agency from fraud, as well as know best practices for if you are hit with fraud.
I'm excited about a fraud webinar? It's totally nerdy, I know. But, here's why I'm excited. Jennifer from ARC is fantastic. She's got a passion for helping agencies and is on a mission to get the word out... and I love people like that. Why?
The Truth: Why I'm Passionate about Fraud Education
Awhile back, my family's agency was hit with fraud and here's a few things I'll share with you:
Simply put, we were blissfully unaware of fraud. It blindsided us.
Because we were a bit naive to the whole fraud thing, not only did we not take any preventative measures, but once it happened, we were clueless about next steps. And let me tell you, that's a really horrible feeling on top of an already horrific situation.
That's why I'm excited to be able to partner with Jennifer and ARC. We really want to educate the travel agencies out there on fraud. The less blissfully unaware agencies out there, the better.
