Car Window Flier Scam

You return to your parked car and get in, only to see a flier stuck under the rear window wiper obscuring your view. So you jump out to remove it, thieves nip in and drive off in the car - more than likely taking your bag/shopping with it.

Pizza Delivery Scam

Guests in hotels have been finding pizza delivery menus conveniently slipped under their doors, but place an order-and make the mistake of giving your credit card number-and you'll really pay. The phone number isn't connected to a pizza parlor but to identity thieves.

Missing Money

A pedestrian bumps against you and drops something. "If you pick it up and attempt to return it, you'll find you've got a bagful of banknotes and a bagful of trouble. That's when the careless cash-dropper accuses you of removing some of the money. Of course, the bad guy turns out to be willing to forget the whole incident in exchange for a fistful of dollars.

Flat Tire Trick

You are driving along the motorway when a driver draws alongside you, pointing to one of your tyres and gesturing to you to pull over. You stop on the hard shoulder and the other driver kindly pulls over to help. While you inspect the tire, he lifts all your valuables from the front seat.

Compensation Claim scam

Someone will bump into you in a crowded place, drop a pair of spectacles or a precious ornament (always previously broken), feign horror and claim to the world that you have to pay up for the damage.

The crowd scam

Crowded streets, malls, markets and railway stations are the obvious spots. While moving through the crowds you bump into a passer-by: you apologise and move on. It is only later that you notice you are travelling light - your keys, wallet or phone has gone.

Desk Clerk Scam

The "front desk clerk" calls late at night and explains that at shift change some forms were left unfinished. She needs to confirm that the form she has is yours, and that the information is correct.She asks if the last four digits of your credit card are 5678. You groggily reach for your wallet and pull out the card. No, you say, those aren't the last four digits. She then asks if you could just read the card number to her. You're sleepy so you don't pause before responding when she asks for the expiration date as well.
