Travelinsightpedia is all about getting posts linked to from all over the web so we are very careful not to ever break links.

They may also try to trick you into providing financial information such as your banking account information.

Advertising Scam

Advertising scammers will offer you money in exchange for sharing “sponsored ads” on your Facebook page, Instagram profile, or other social media profiles. They will then trick you into providing them admin control of your page, then take it over and steal control of the page.

Beware of the following:

  • Anyone offering you money for advertising services, or asking you for money for any reason.
  • Anyone asking for your banking or other financial account information.
  • Anyone directing you to buy a specific good/service.
  • Contact from anyone via an email domain other than @travelinsightpedia.com (For instance, “travelinsightpedia_official@gmail.com” is not an official Travelinsightpedia email address).
