Ensure a great holiday by being ever vigilant of fraudsters and thieves while having fun!
Nothing ruins a holiday more than when your passport or credit card is stolen.
Fraudsters and criminals know that tourists are an easy target so be vigilant while having fun!
We suggest you avoid holiday theft of credit cards, passports and other ID documents by following the following security tips:
- Don’t display your home address on your luggage, instead use a work address or your mobile number would be best.
- We would also suggest using work addresses when checking into hotels abroad.
- Keep your ID documents separate from your debit/credit or travel cash card.
- Only take the cards you are going to use on your holiday.
- Don’t write down PINs – use a more memorable number.
- Always keep your passport locked in the room safe of your holiday hotel.
- When walking amongst crowds of people keep your bag strapped across your body or held firmly. Money belts are not the most attractive accessory but they are ideal to carry your cards and valuables
- Leave a copy of your passport with family or friends back home.
- Never let restaurant, hotel or shop staff go out of sight with your card and always check bank statements when you return home.
Bon Voyage!
