3. Airport Travel Scam
Airports are known for being hectic and
overwhelming, with a lot of different things going
on at once.
Scammers take advantage of this scenario and
work in pairs to steal valuables from travelers.
One con artist will spill a drink or food all over a
traveler and begin to apologize and strike up a
conversation to distract you.
The other scammer will move in and steal whatever
valuables they can easily take from you.
4. Avoiding the Airport Travel
Scam
To avoid having your valuable belongings stolen off
you in an airport, be aware of your surroundings.
If someone does come up to you and spills
something, keep walking and wait until you are in a
remote area to clean up.
By not staying still, the scammers will not be able
to fully take advantage of you and steal your items.
5. Fake Menu Scam
Scammers will try almost anything to get credit
card information from tourists, including the fake
menu scheme.
They will slip fake delivery menus under hotel room
doors.
Once hotel guests call that number for delivery, the
scammer asks for the credit card information over
the phone.
They then steal this information and leave the hotel
guest without food or money.
6. Avoiding Fake Menu Scheme
• To make sure this doesn’t happen to you, don’t
provide any credit card information over the phone.
• When calling a delivery place, tell them you will pay
in cash or give the credit card info once the food
has been provided.
• To make sure that something is a legitimate
business, ask the front desk at the hotel for its
recommendations.
