10 Common Travel Scams Making a Major Comeback

The Fake Charity Collector

In tourist hotspots, scammers may pose as charity collectors, soliciting donations for fake causes. They often wear official-looking badges or uniforms to appear legitimate. This scam exploits tourists' goodwill and desire to help. To avoid falling victim, research charities before donating and only give to recognized organizations. Politely decline requests for donations from individuals on the street and consider making contributions through official websites or established channels. Being informed about local charities and their operations can help you make meaningful contributions without supporting fraudulent activities.
