    I would ask more questions - where does this person work from, is she an employee of Co-op Travel and if so can you contact her at work?

    Just found this:

    http://www.cooptravelpersonaladvisors.co.uk/

    They do check out as legitimate - their email addresses are certainly valid for Co-op Travel, and they are ABTA and ATOL registered.
  • Coop Travel has thousands of personal travel advisors now. Search either co-operative travel or coop travel. Alot of the personal travel advisors do advertise on FB because some rely on their own leads & others take calls from the website or call centre. Should be easy enough to find out if the person is a legitimate Coop advisor but quite rightly, do not part with your money until you are sure.
