The Better Business Bureau has just issued a warning about scammers exploiting the ongoing chaos with airline cancellations.
Here's the scam: While doing an online search for cheap flights, you come across what seems like a great deal with a major airline.
You book the flight, either through the website or by calling a customer support number.
But shortly after making the payment, you receive a call from the company saying there's been a sudden price increase or an extra charge to finalize your booking.
It turns out that you accidentally purchased tickets through a scam website or a phony customer service number.
The price increase is a way to get more money out of you.
