Watch out for too good to be true Labor Day deals

HONOLULU (KHON2) — With Labor Day quickly approaching, you may be thinking about getting some good deals.

The Better Business Bureau advises taking time and doing research before jumping into buying anything.

If you are traveling this Labor Day weekend, type in the hotel and airline information yourself. Don’t click promo links from emails or texts, and book directly or with a well-reviewed company.

When shopping for holiday deals, the important concern is fake ‘ghost’ websites and sponsored social posts that advertise huge discounts.

Always double-check the website’s URL spelling to spot if it is a fake.
