Too good to be true

The other day my wife & I were trying to see the best fare available for our international vacation!! We stumbled upon a site that offered a good deal!! The prices were unbelievably low.. I almost booked the ticket when my wife said we needed to check out the authenticity of the site (women are smart!!) we checked the details & cross-checked it with the airlines, the website was a sham & stole credit card information!! My wife's smartness saved us!!
