So you check out WayWayCheapoTickets.com or whatever they're called and get a way way cheapo price. I mean WAY cheap. Like half price. And you're on their website and it asks you for some info but you don't click on the final ACCEPT button because something just doesn't feel right, and you put that website on hold and do a search on fraud, and suddenly you're inundated by websites warning the public about this company, and you break out in a cold sweat.

"You return to the cheapo website and try to uncheck the I READ ALL THIS STUFF checkbox but the website won't let you! And you do more research and now you're really scared. You kill the webpage, without having clicked on the ACCEPT button and now you're relieved, because you're pretty sure by now this is some kind of sophisticated scam. And you remind yourself how important this trip is. And you replay in your mind the reported scam: that people purchased such tickets and then they show up at the airport and the ticket somehow gets cancelled at the last minute and then they're screwed. Thankfully, that's not going to happen to you. You figured it out in time-just in time. Good job, you tell yourself.

"Then the email arrives. Congratulation, it says, for purchasing an e-ticket from WayWayCheapoTickets.com......."

This--and other stories--will be told this Wednesday night, December 2nd, at the DC Traveler's Circle (tc). tc meets 6:30-10pm (show up/leave whenever), at the Kabab House at 1108 K Street, NW, between 11th and 12th, 3 blocks north of Metro Center. This month's tc will be run by Mark and a cast of colorful characters--including hopefully you!
