Here are 3 airport scams you need
to be aware of!
> Taxi Scam
There is always a taxi or airport transfer
scam waiting for you at the Airport! Some airport shuttles that wait at the
airport for passengers are in fact unlicensed and some will fool you into
paying an insane, inflated price that will burn a hole in your pocket. These
airport transfer scammers will do anything to take you for granted, even taking
you on a longer route to your destination.
These scams can happen anywhere,
whether you’re in Cape Town, Johannesburg or Durban – do not put yourself at
risk of financial loss or in a dangerous situation, book your airport transfer
with Airport Shuttle today and you will get to your destination safely and at
an affordable price.
> Overweight Luggage
This scam does not apply to all airports;
however it is known to happen at a few of the less popular ones. Employees
working at the airport, like the counter attendants who weigh your luggage,
will fail to reset the scale before you put your luggage on and you’ll end up
being over-charged for overweight luggage.
> Free Wi-Fi
Cyber criminals are always looking for easy
ways to scam unknowing victims, and this is especially easy at the airport
where internet users are always looking for a free Wi-Fi connection. Often
hackers will set up a FREE Wi-Fi hotspot and once you connect to it, your
private data and information will be stolen! Always be sure to switch off any
automatic connections and do not connect to any hotspots that aren’t 100% safe
and secure.
