Dear Craft Travelers,

At Craft Travel, we are dedicated to curating exceptional and authentic travel experiences for you. It has come to our attention that a deceptive entity is attempting to exploit our brand identity through a sophisticated cryptocurrency scam involving a copied version of our website.

While we recognize that this imitation unfortunately reflects the strength of our brand, we want to be unequivocally clear: Craft Travel has no affiliation whatsoever with cryptocurrency promotions, reviews, or any related schemes. Our focus remains steadfastly on providing you with genuine and enriching journeys across the globe.

For our discerning travelers, trust and transparency are paramount. We want to assure you that we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness. The discovery of this fraudulent activity was brought to our attention by vigilant members of our Craft Travelers community, highlighting the importance of your awareness and discernment online.

Our Commitment to Your Security & Trust

Please be assured of the following:

  • Craft Travel does not engage in any form of cryptocurrency endorsements or promotions. Any such association is entirely false and should be treated with extreme caution.

Thank you for your continued trust in Craft Travel. We are committed to upholding the integrity of our brand and ensuring a secure online environment for our valued Craft Travelers. By remaining informed and vigilant, we can collectively navigate these challenges and continue to focus on the authentic travel experiences that bring us together.
