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.

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.

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.

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.
