Don’t Fall for These 10 Scary Traveler Scams

1. Spilling On Your Clothes
Simple, effective, and incredibly popular, the ‘spill’ scam involves a stranger purposely spilling something on your clothing. The scammer will then attempt to rectify their misdeed by frantically scrubbing away the stain to distract you as they also pocket the contents of your pockets.
The only real way to protect yourself against this scam is to step back, maintain a safe distance, and insist on handling the stain on your own. Though it may suck to have a blouse covered in ketchup, having empty pockets is much, much worse.
