Don’t Prepay For Everything
Husband signed up online, and paid, for surfing lessons in Puerto Rico. We get to the place and they say they don’t have any record of that at all. He shows them the website, and they’re like, “That’s not our website.” He still takes the lesson but pays again. Don’t know if it was someone else with a fake website or the actual surf shop lying to him that scammed him. How can you avoid this issue? Don’t prepay for everything. If it’s not the high season, it’s probably not full and you can pay when you get there.
