Trio fall victim to internet travel con

The trio had booked to go on a week long trip to Tenerife through the website sunmedresorts. com, report Malvern Gazette. They paid the £1,417 bill by credit card, and were due to fly to the resort at the end of September. On Saturday, when they phoned the agency to try to alter the booking so another friend could come along, they discovered they had been defrauded.

They warned other holidaymakers to beware of tempting offers on the web. "People should only use proper travel agents, ones that are ABTA registered."
