The following are travel scams from around the world that travelers should be aware of prior to visiting these destinations: • Rome is well known for women who “accidentally throw” their babies or create unusual distractions to draw tourists attention away from pickpockets, often children, who steal wallets and/or camera bags. • Orlando is where identity thieves are slipping pizza delivery menus under hotel room doors and stealing customers’ identities once they call and give their credit card numbers when ordering. • Vietnam’s reputable bus companies are losing business to impostors because of Vietnam’s lax intellectual property laws. Imposters often provide iffy service and on longer trips sometimes make unexpected overnight stops at overpriced hotels. • New York City’s Times Square is where CD Bullies are handing out what appears to be free copies of their music only to then be surrounded by friends of the artist who menace customers until they pay $10 for the CD. • Las Vegas has cabdrivers who insist on unloading customers’ luggage at hotels or the airport and then speed off. Travelers then discover that not all of their bags made it out of cabs’ trunks. • U.S. hotel guests are increasingly receiving phone calls in the middle of the night from people claiming to work at the front desk. Guests are told that there is a problem with their credit cards and asked to provide their credit card numbers again. • Egyptian pyramids are a favorite photo op of tourists and they often pay to sit on the back of a camel for photographs only to be told that they have to pay again to disembark.
