How can I avoid scams when buying Blue October Getaway packages?

We take the safety of our community seriously—and unfortunately, scammers are active across social media, resale sites, and even email.  To protect yourself, please follow these important guidelines:

You can only buy rooms, packages, or add-ons through Blue October Getaways.
Anyone trying to sell you a room, package, or add-on outside of our system—on Facebook, Instagram, resale platforms, or anywhere else—cannot actually transfer it to you. Even legitimate resales must go through our official transfer process, managed directly by our team.

If someone wants to sell or give away their room, it must be transferred through us to be valid. We do not allow independent sales, and we do not honor unofficial transfers.

Official sales channels include:

• blueoctobergetaways.com

• Trusted partners linked directly from our site, including:

  – The Blue October Shop

  – Our travel services provider, Travel Abundance

We will never sell rooms, packages, or add-ons via:

• Social media DMs or comments

• Facebook Marketplace or resale groups

• Third-party booking or travel sites

• Unverified emails or random links

Scammers often create urgency or fake legitimacy to trick buyers—sometimes as part of more elaborate fraud schemes like “pig butchering,” where they gain trust over time before stealing funds or personal data.

Bottom line: If it didn’t come directly from us—or wasn’t linked from blueoctobergetaways.com—it’s not safe to trust.

If you’re ever unsure send a message here through our support system or email us at updates@blueoctober.com. We’re happy to verify anything and help keep you protected.
