Cruise Line has compiled a list of a few of the most common travel scams.

Don’t be a victim of these 5 top
travel scams.

The
altered credit card receipt scam

Dishonest merchants will often add an
extra zero or two to a credit card receipt or extra numbers at the beginning of
the amount when submitting their merchant’s copy of the signed credit card
receipt to the credit card provider.  We
recommend taking the time to write long horizontal lines before and after the
charge amount on any receipt you write for a credit card purchase.

The
money-drop scam

This is a common scam, particularly in
less developed countries.  What happens
is a tough guy rushes past an obvious tourist and “accidently” drops a wad of
hundred dollar bills.  Another guy then
begins to pick up the money at your feet and offers to share it with you.  Whether you take the money or not, the
original tough guy reappears shortly after the other one leaves and demands you
pay the full amount back to him.  Lonely
Planet reports that this scam is particularly common in Moscow’s Red Square.

The
ATM receipt scam

How vacationers handle their ATM
receipts is the source of an ongoing scheme.
Scammers can spot vacationers in a heartbeat and when they see one at an
ATM machine they look to see if they put their ATM receipts in a nearby trash
can.  If they do, the scam artists will
retrieve the receipt to determine how much money was withdrawn and if there is
an account balance on the receipt.  They
can then trail the man or woman until the right moment and rob them of their
recently received cash or force them to withdraw the balance of their account
or do both.

The
pour scam

This is particularly common at hotels
and casino chains.  What happens is
bartenders with ring you up for a premium liquor but bring you the house brand
and use the premium liquors for a future customer without ringing it up and
pocket the change, or charge you for a premium liquor, pour you the house brand
and pocket the difference.

The
spill scam

This scam usually involves two
persons.  The first one will spill a
drink or something on you and then offering to help you wipe it off.  While they are distracting you, his or her partner
will go for your wallet, passport, camera, luggage or anything else that is
easily obtainable in the confusion.

At Caribbean Cruise Line, we hope you have had — or will have — a
great vacation this year and have avoided any unpleasantness such as travel
scams.
