Traveler Scam Alert: How To Spot and Avoid Common Travel Deceptions

Identify some common tourist cons and get expert tips from a former Navy SEAL on how to avoid falling victim.

Article Highlights

Fake websites target travelers using duplicitous URLs.
Street con artists take your valuables by disguising themselves as guides.
Ride-share impersonators are rampant, but you can spot and avoid them.
Intimidation tactics by street performers may try to shake you down for tips.

Navigating the minefield of scams and deceit they might potentially encounter abroad is a nasty reality for many travelers. Harding Bush, a former Navy SEAL and Global Rescue associate director of security operations, emphasizes the importance of being informed and vigilant while traveling.

“Travelers can be easy targets for scammers, pickpockets, and thieves. The more you know about the tricks and traps scammers use, the better off you’ll be on your next trip,” Bush warns.

Watch Out for These 6 Common Traveler Scams

The following is a list of some of the most common scams travelers should know, along with essential tips to avoid falling victim.

Fake Websites

One of the most insidious scams targeting travelers is the proliferation of fake travel document websites. These websites often masquerade as legitimate services that offer expedited passports or visas, but in reality, they aim to steal personal and payment information. Bush explains, “The website will not have a .gov address or may have a misspelling in the name – like govv.uk.com instead of .uk.gov – that you may not detect.”

To avoid falling victim to this scam, it’s crucial to start your passport or visa inquiry at official government websites. Only the federal government can process passports, while various authorized companies can expedite visa applications for a fee. “Citizens can receive an expedited passport quickly and directly from the government. It does take time and there are extra fees, but they are not exorbitant,” Bush adds. Always verify the legitimacy of the website before providing any personal information.

Car rental scammers set up a website that looks like a legitimate rental car company. But when you call and reserve a car your information and credit card information is stolen. Look closely at the website, phone number, URL address and e-mail addresses and you will more easily spot the fakes. “Thieves hope that travelers are overwhelmed, stressed, confused and likely making a reservation from a smartphone while handling other, distracting issues,” Bush said.

Accommodation scammers may list fake properties on bogus vacation rental websites, collecting deposits for accommodations that don’t exist. Always book through reputable platforms and read reviews.

Travel insurance rip-offs are the product of disreputable companies offering travel insurance that sounds appealing but is either very limited or nonexistent. Always read the fine print and purchase insurance only from reputable sources.

Street Cons Targeting Tourists

Street cons can take many forms and often catch tourists off guard.

Ride-share impersonators are crooks posing as drivers, picking up unsuspecting tourists and charging them exorbitant fees. Always confirm the driver’s identity and vehicle before getting in.

A close criminal cousin to ride-share imposters are taxi drivers who overcharge tourists unfamiliar with the local taxi services and protocols. Travelers are often approached at baggage claim by a person offering a taxi into the city. They are annoying and persistent. Before your trip, research where the taxi line is at your arrival airport and the usual cost for a taxi to your destination. “Arrange taxis through the hotel; it’s safer,” Bush said.

Fake tour guides are scammers posing as official tour guides and offer tours at inflated prices or lead tourists to overpriced shops or restaurants. Some phonies will tell you an attraction is closed and try to sell you access. Don’t buy it. Go to the official website and do real research. “Don’t take the word of a stranger on the street selling tours,” Bush said. Always verify credentials or book through reputable agencies.

Fake charity collectors approach you asking for donations for a fictitious charity or social cause. They can be convincing, so it’s essential to verify any charity before contributing.

One common tactic involves individuals posing as friendly locals who engage tourists in conversation only to distract them while an accomplice pickpockets them. Bush advises, “Always be aware of your surroundings and secure your belongings. If someone approaches you in a crowded area, be cautious.”

Intimidation Cons

Another alarming trend is the use of intimidation tactics by street performers. These individuals may engage in seemingly harmless acts, such as juggling or dancing, before aggressively demanding tips. These pushy street performers may become confrontational if they feel they haven’t received enough compensation for their “entertainment.”

Beware of someone offering you a free bracelet or jewelry. They claim to give you a free bauble, then demand payment after putting it on you. They may become aggressive if you refuse to pay.

If you find yourself in a situation where someone is being overly aggressive, it is best to walk away confidently but calmly.

Pickpockets Using Distraction

A thief “accidentally” spills a drink on you and then offers to help clean it up, often using this distraction to pick your pocket or steal from you.

Another scam is the “stolen wallet” play. Scammers approach you, claiming to have found your wallet or purse, and use this as an opportunity to engage with you and distract you while an accomplice steals your belongings.

ATM Scams

Thieves use skimming devices on ATMs or set up a fake ATM to capture card information. Avoid trouble by using ATMs located in secure areas. “ATMs are always vulnerable. Only use ATMs in safe and well-lit areas. Do a bit of surveillance before using a specific ATM. Use the buddy system, if possible, with one person taking out the money and putting it away while the other faces the other way, watching for threats,” Bush said.

Wi-Fi and Hotspots Danger

All public Wi-Fi is vulnerable to hackers and thieves looking to steal your data, even those that require a password. Always use a VPN that encrypts the internet connection. Use an international data plan with your home carrier. Turn off Bluetooth and file-sharing features. Be aware of the data you have and back up everything with two-factor authentication. That means you will need access to that phone number while traveling. Obtain an international calling and data plan that works in the country you are visiting.

The Best Traveler Scam-Blocker Defense

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to travel. Before embarking on your trip, take the time to research not only your destination but also the common scams that occur there. Many travel blogs, forums, and government travel advisories provide valuable insights into what to watch out for.

“Being aware of your surroundings and staying informed about local customs and common scams can save you from headaches,” Bush emphasizes. Consider joining online travel communities where fellow travelers share their experiences and advice. This collective wisdom can be invaluable, especially in unfamiliar territories.

Despite your best efforts, you may still encounter a scam. If this happens, it’s essential to remain calm and composed. If a con artist is aggressive, avoid engaging in a confrontation. Politely, but firmly, walk away. If you have been scammed or if you witness a scam, report it to local authorities. This can help prevent others from falling victim to the same scam and may assist law enforcement in addressing the problem.

“Traveling is about exploration and adventure,” Bush concludes. “Don’t let scams ruin your journey. Equip yourself with knowledge and stay aware. That’s the best way to ensure a safe and memorable trip.”

The Global Rescue Connection

There will always be rip-off artists targeting tourists. To avoid falling victim to these scams, remain vigilant, trust your instincts, and always do your research before engaging with strangers or making transactions.

A Global Rescue membership includes travel services for passport and visa issues. Losing your passport in a foreign country can be a nightmarish bureaucratic ordeal. Travel insurance can provide coverage for lost or stolen belongings. Review the policy to understand what is covered and how to make a claim if needed. If you have travel questions, contact Global Rescue. Our in-house experts will always answer your outreach on your first call.

Survey: Overtourism Worries 76% of Travelers, 31% Experienced Overtourism in 2024

(Lebanon, N.H. – November 4, 2024) Overtourism is a rising concern among the world’s most experienced travelers, according to the Fall 2024 Global Rescue Traveler Sentiment and Safety Survey. Three out of four travelers (76%) expressed concerns about overtourism, while 31% have personally experienced it in 2024. The survey revealed slightly more men (33%) than women (28%) experienced overtourism in 2024 but women (83%) are more concerned about overtourism compared to men (74%).

The combination of the travel industry rebound and government inaction are contributing factors for overtourism, the negative impact caused when too many tourists visit a particular destination.

To keep pace and prevent overtourism, officials at popular and new destinations need to manage the tourism resurgence and growth. “Local governments can institute measures such as limiting the number of visitors to sensitive areas or promoting sustainable tourism practices,” said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies and a member of the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board at the Department of Commerce.

Overtourism isn’t just a challenge for locals. “Travelers can reduce their impact by choosing off-peak seasons to visit and exploring lesser-known regions,” Richards explained. “Tourists and local authorities must collaborate to ensure that popular destinations are preserved for future travelers while respecting the needs of local communities. Solutions can include promoting lesser-known destinations and educating travelers on responsible tourism practices.”

Holiday Travel Tips: Avoid Packing Wrapped Gifts in Carry-On Luggage

Pack unwrapped, ship ahead or use gift bags for a stress-free journey this holiday season.

Article Highlights:

Avoid packing wrapped gifts in carry-on luggage due to potential security checks.
Most holiday travelers avoid packing wrapped gifts in carry-on luggage, but 12% don’t.
Use gift bags or wrap your gifts after you arrive at your destination.
Shipping gifts ahead of time can save space and avoid damage.

As the holiday season approaches, millions of travelers are packing their bags for flights around the world, and many will include gifts for family, friends and colleagues.

Packing wrapped gifts in checked luggage is wise. But if travelers are planning to use carry-on baggage exclusively then they should know that tucking gift-wrapped presents in their rolling suitcases, backpacks or totes can pose challenges at airport security.

Wrapped Gifts and Security Screenings

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) strongly advises against packing wrapped gifts in carry-on luggage. “The key issue is that TSA officers may need to open wrapped gifts if an item looks suspicious or cannot be identified through the scanner,” explained Harding Bush, a former Navy SEAL and associate director of security for Global Rescue. “Unwrapping gifts for inspection at the airport security checkpoint can delay travelers and create frustration, especially during the busy holiday season.”

Bush emphasizes the importance of complying with carry-on baggage rules to avoid unnecessary delays. “If TSA cannot determine what’s inside a package, they will ask travelers to unwrap it or confiscate the item,” Bush said. “It’s best to leave your gifts unwrapped and pack them in your checked luggage or wrap them once you reach your destination.”

A recent survey by Global Rescue revealed that 44% of travelers plan to fly during the winter holidays, and 12% plan to pack wrapped gifts in their carry-on luggage, risking potential delays due to TSA agents needing to inspect the package contents.

“Gifts are a wonderful part of the holiday season but unwrapping them at a TSA checkpoint is not what anyone wants to experience,” Bush said.

A ticket agent checks in luggage at an airport. — Better to leave gifts unwrapped while traveling home.

The Better Alternatives: Packing Wisely

Instead of risking the hassle of unwrapping at security checkpoints, Bush recommends shipping gifts ahead of time or using gift bags, which are easier for TSA agents to inspect. “If you choose to pack them in your checked luggage, you should still be cautious about delicate or breakable items. Consider wrapping gifts after you’ve cleared security,” Bush adds.

For those traveling with gifts in carry-on luggage, it’s vital to follow carry-on baggage rules closely. Prohibited items, such as liquids over 3.4 ounces, can lead to additional scrutiny from TSA. Items like perfume, alcohol or food-based gifts that don’t comply with the carry-on luggage rules should be packed in checked baggage instead.

To ensure a smooth travel experience, travelers should carefully plan their packing strategy. Adhering to the carry-on baggage rules is essential, especially during the holiday rush. “Taking a few extra moments to consider what goes into your carry-on or checked luggage can save time and stress later,” said Bush.

By following these tips and preparing wisely, holiday travelers can avoid unnecessary delays and ensure their gifts safely reach their destination wrapped and ready for the festivities.

Smart Packing Tips for Holiday Travel

Travelers planning to fly this holiday season can still bring gifts but should do so with a few smart packing strategies in mind:

Use Gift Bags: One of the easiest solutions is to pack gifts in decorative gift bags instead of wrapping them. Gift bags are easy to access, don’t obscure the contents and can be reused once you arrive.
Ship Gifts Ahead of Time: Consider shipping your gifts to your destination ahead of your travel date. Not only does this save space in your luggage, but it also avoids the risk of items being damaged or unwrapped during transit.
Consider Wrapping After You Arrive: If you’re determined to present your gifts in wrapped paper, pack wrapping materials in your luggage and wrap the gifts once you reach your destination. This ensures you won’t have to redo the wrapping after airport security inspections.
Check Baggage Limitations: If your gifts are fragile or large, it might be better to place them in your checked luggage. However, keep in mind that TSA can still inspect checked baggage, and there is always the possibility of damage during transport.
Follow TSA Guidelines: Review the TSA guidelines before packing any gifts. Restrictions on liquids, gels and sharp objects still apply during the holiday season, so make sure that any gifts you bring comply with security regulations.

Give the Packable Gift of a Global Rescue Membership

You can send family, friends, colleagues and other loved ones on their dream vacations, bucket list travels, adventure excursions and business trips with the peace of mind that comes with the travel protection they need should a medical emergency arise during travel. Give them the gift of travel protection by giving them a Global Rescue membership. It’s easy to pack and provides membership in the world’s leading field rescue, medical and security evacuation, intelligence and telehealth company.

Lagging Behind? Not Anymore! Jet-Set Without Jet Lag

Discover causes, prevention and tips to recover quickly from jet lag.

Article Highlights:

Gradually adjust your sleep schedule before traveling to minimize jet lag effects.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which disrupt sleep patterns and worsen jet lag.
Exposure to natural light helps reset your internal body clock in a new time zone.
Short naps (20–30 minutes) can relieve fatigue without affecting nighttime sleep.
Global Rescue offers 24/7 emergency assistance and advisory services to help manage jet lag during travel.

What Is Jet Lag?

Jet lag is a temporary sleep disorder that occurs when your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, is disrupted by traveling across multiple time zones. This internal clock helps regulate sleep, appetite and other bodily functions, but when exposed to a new time zone, your body struggles to adjust.

Symptoms of jet lag include fatigue, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, irritability, digestive problems and general malaise. The severity of jet lag depends on factors such as the number of time zones crossed, the direction of travel (eastward or westward), age, and individual sensitivity to changes in routine.

Why Does Jet Lag Happen?

Jet lag occurs because our circadian rhythms are not instantly adaptable to new time zones. This is particularly noticeable when traveling rapidly across long distances, such as international flights. If you fly from New York to Tokyo, for instance, your body will still be on New York time despite Tokyo being 13 hours ahead. This misalignment between your body clock and the external environment triggers jet lag symptoms.

Flying eastward tends to result in more severe jet lag than westward travel, as it requires your body to shorten its day, which is more difficult than lengthening it. For example, traveling from Los Angeles to London (an 8-hour time difference) typically results in a more difficult adjustment than traveling from Los Angeles to Sydney (a 19-hour time difference).

How To Prevent Jet Lag Before You Fly

Gradually Adjust Your Schedule

One of the most effective strategies to prevent jet lag is to begin adjusting your sleep schedule before your departure. For instance, if you’re flying eastward and losing hours, try going to bed one hour earlier each night in the days leading up to your trip. Conversely, if you’re traveling west and gaining time, extend your bedtime. By gradually syncing with your destination’s time zone, you’ll help ease the shock to your system.

Manage Light Exposure

Exposure to natural light is one of the most powerful influences on your body’s internal clock. Before your flight, start aligning your light exposure with your destination’s daylight hours. Use blackout curtains or eye masks to block out light when you need to sleep or expose yourself to bright light when it’s daytime at your destination. If you’re traveling east, avoid morning light at your current location and get as much afternoon light as possible. This will help prevent jet lag by shifting your body clock in the right direction.

Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can worsen the symptoms of jet lag. Keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during and after your flight. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, both of which dehydrate the body and can interfere with sleep.

A man with a neck pillow rests his head with eyes closed against his window on a plane. — Aligning your sleep on a long flight with nighttime at your destination can help prevent jet lag.

Managing Jet Lag During the Flight

Sleep Strategically

When sleeping during the flight, try to align your rest with the nighttime of your destination. For example, if you’re flying to a location where it will be nighttime when you arrive, try to sleep on the plane to mimic that time zone. Use travel pillows, eye masks and noise-canceling headphones to create a comfortable sleeping environment.

On the other hand, if it will be daytime at your destination when you arrive, try to stay awake during the flight. Walking around the cabin occasionally and keeping yourself entertained with books, movies or puzzles can help keep you alert.

Consider Sleeping Aids

Some travelers find sleeping aids helpful for adjusting their sleep patterns during long flights. Melatonin is a popular choice for many as it’s a natural hormone that helps regulate sleep cycles. However, consult a healthcare provider before using any sleeping aids to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your needs.

Use Compression Socks

Long flights can restrict blood flow to your legs, which is why it’s a good idea to wear compression socks during air travel. They can help prevent blood clots, reduce swelling and improve circulation, especially during long-haul flights where you’re seated for an extended period.

How To Recover From Jet Lag Once You Land

Get Natural Sunlight

Once you arrive at your destination, the best way to realign your body clock is to get outside and expose yourself to natural sunlight. This helps reset your circadian rhythm and signals to your body that it’s time to be awake. Conversely, limit your exposure to light when it’s nighttime at your destination by using an eye mask or blackout curtains.

Take Short Naps

If you feel overwhelmingly tired after arriving, short naps (20–30 minutes) can help relieve fatigue without interfering with your nighttime sleep. Be careful not to nap for too long, as this can make it more difficult to fall asleep later. Try to stay awake until it’s nighttime at your destination to help your body adjust.

Prioritize Sleep Hygiene

Good sleep hygiene is crucial for overcoming jet lag. Keep your bedroom cool and quiet, avoid screens before bed and establish a bedtime routine to help unwind. Practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or gentle stretching can help you fall asleep more easily.

Avoid Stimulants

As tempting as it may be to rely on caffeine to stay awake during the day, it’s better to avoid stimulants altogether while adjusting to a new time zone. Both caffeine and alcohol can interfere with your ability to get quality rest. Global Rescue experts advise avoiding these substances as they can disrupt your recovery from jet lag.

Tailoring Your Approach

Each traveler has their preferred ways of dealing with jet lag, and not all methods will work for everyone. Some travelers find success with melatonin supplements, while others prefer natural sunlight exposure. It’s important to try different strategies and find what works best for your body. If you find yourself jet-lagged and struggling to adjust, be open to experimenting with new approaches, including adjusting your sleep patterns before traveling.

Sleeping Challenges for Adventure Travelers

Adventure travelers often face unique challenges when it comes to preventing jet lag. If your itinerary includes physically demanding activities such as hiking or trekking, your body will already be dealing with physical stress, making jet lag symptoms more difficult to handle. For those embarking on adventure travel, consider planning a buffer day or two to allow yourself time to acclimatize before engaging in intense activities.

Sleeping Challenges for Business Travelers

For business travelers, time is often of the essence. You may not have the luxury of a recovery day to adjust to a new time zone. In such cases, plan by arranging your meetings when you’re likely to feel most alert. Business travelers should also prioritize staying hydrated and well-rested to ensure they’re in peak condition for important meetings and events.

The Global Rescue Connection

Jet lag may be an unavoidable part of international travel, but with proper planning and attention to your body’s needs, you can minimize its effects. Whether preparing to prevent jet lag or looking for ways to recover, experimenting with different methods and listening to your body will help you adjust to new time zones more effectively. With expert advice from Global Rescue and the right preparation, you can enjoy your travels without the burden of severe jet lag symptoms.

Global Rescue offers personalized travel advisory services and 24/7/365 emergency assistance. With a Global Rescue membership, travelers can receive tailored advice on dealing with jet lag, as well as medical evacuation and emergency services at no additional cost. For those facing jet lag recovery challenges, Global Rescue’s expert team is always available to provide support and recommendations on how to manage your condition.

Emergency Phone Strategies for Global Travelers

Explore cell coverage in top destinations and learn how satellite devices can assist in emergencies.

Article Highlights:

Key emergency contact numbers for some of the most popular travel destinations.
Ambulance and police numbers for quick access during emergencies.
Nearest hospital information for each destination.
Areas where cellular coverage in remote regions may be unreliable.
The importance of satellite-enabled communications in remote areas.

Traveling internationally is an exciting experience. But emergencies can arise unexpectedly and with cellular coverage unreliable in some of the world’s top tourist destinations – particularly in remote regions or areas with poor infrastructure – it’s important for travelers to be prepared.

Start with the right emergency contact numbers, which are essential to ensure safety while traveling abroad. Whether it’s ambulance numbers, police numbers, embassy hotlines or the direct line for a hospital, travelers should have these contacts digitally stored and printed, too. But a lack of consistent cell phone connectivity can become problematic during emergencies when reliable communication is critical.

Satellite communication devices, offering broader coverage and the ability to send distress signals, provide an essential backup for travelers. They ensure that, regardless of cellular limitations, tourists can access emergency services, medical assistance or rescue operations, making them invaluable for safety and peace of mind.

The following is a list of some of the most popular travel destinations with an assessment of the region’s cell coverage, along with the emergency numbers for first responders and the British, Canadian and U.S. embassies.

Emergency Numbers

Antigua and Barbuda

A stunning Caribbean destination, Antigua and Barbuda offers crystal-clear beaches and relaxation, but being prepared with emergency contact numbers is important.

(Lebanon, N.H. – October 28, 2024) A growing number of travelers are using artificial intelligence (AI) for trip planning, according to the Global Rescue Fall 2024 Traveler Sentiment and Safety Survey. The survey revealed that one-out-of-10 (11%) of the world’s most experienced travelers have started to incorporate AI tools into their travel preparation, with most finding it beneficial for research and itinerary suggestions.

“AI for travel is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s becoming a practical tool for travelers looking to streamline their trip planning,” said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies and a member of the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board at the Department of Commerce. “While still in the early stages, AI is proving valuable for tasks such as destination research and itinerary building.”

Among those who used artificial intelligence for travel, nearly 70% rated the technology as “very useful” or “mostly useful,” showing a positive sentiment toward its functionality. Close to half of travelers (44%) used AI for basic research and a third (36%) found it helpful for suggesting itineraries based on specific parameters, such as trip length, activities, or budget.

“AI for research is enabling travelers to cut down the time it takes to sift through endless sources of information, helping them make better decisions faster,” Richards said. “It’s ideal for identifying the right destination and creating customized travel plans, especially for those short on time or planning complex itineraries.”

Other uses of artificial intelligence in travel planning included finding lodging, restaurants, and activities (10%) and coordinating flights (2%). While AI adoption in trip planning remains modest, the data suggest a steady increase in its application as travelers seek ways to simplify the process.

Travelers should be vigilant regarding AI use since it is a new source of scams. “The proliferation of AI is an impending threat to travel due to tech scams including deepfake cons, identity impersonation, or misleading travel advice from bots, putting travelers at risk of fraud, misinformation, or malicious intent when booking trips or managing itineraries,” said Harding Bush, former Navy SEAL and associate director security for Global Rescue.

Richards emphasized the evolving role of AI in the travel industry, noting that while most travelers still plan trips traditionally, those who have adopted AI tools are reaping its benefits. “We expect to see a continued rise in the use of AI for travel, particularly as the technology becomes more accessible and refined,” he added.

AI-powered systems are expected to play a significant role in enhancing international security checks with some of the early applications focusing on enhancing screening processes and threat detection. AI systems are being tested in several airports globally, including Dubai International Airport and JFK International Airport in New York.
