3. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels wrong — a light where it shouldn’t be, a device that seems out of place — don’t ignore it. Seniors especially should lean on their instincts, developed through decades of experience.
4. Control Your Connection
When possible, use your own mobile hotspot instead of the rental’s Wi-Fi. Cybersecurity experts warn that unsecured networks can expose your personal information.
5. Report and Leave Immediately
If you discover anything suspicious, leave the property right away and report it both to the platform and local law enforcement. Your safety is more important than any reservation or refund.
