 get five in free or something like that that would be right too good to be now is it a good idea to pay with credit cards because you can somewhat protect yourself a little bit more it is and that's kind of the only small amount of defense but it's better than nothing yeah is if you do pay with that credit card and it is a scam you can dispute those charges if something doesn't happen if the tickets don't come through and again you know you just got to make sure that there's not much you can do obviously if you're paying cash or check or money orders or whatever
