Uber driver drops passengers at airport, then tries to burglarize their home

 

I THANK GOD every day I live in a very rural area where Uber is not around.

I never liked the ideal when is started up and still don’t think it is a SAFE mode of travel. I mean how many times has Uber been in the news in the past few years for something like this?

Travel Security: Hotel Room Master Keys

by in Security, Security Alert, Security News, Travel Security, Travel Tips and tagged , , , ,

 

Hackers built a ‘master key’ for millions of hotel                                                      rooms

Good information for you folks that travel a lot for business or even on that family vacation this summer. Be Aware of this security shortfall.

Whenever I travel and stay in Hotels, I use this door jamming device, of course it does not help when you are not in the room but the easy fix there is DO NOT leave valuables in your room.

This Couple Spotted The Exact Moment They Were Scammed Out Of A Watch While On Vacation

(click on above link to be re-directed)

Funny picture, but it shows the subtle and deceptive tradecraft of thieves all over the globe.

So often children are used in street scams like this to emotionally disarm and distract the tourist.

Don’t be emotionally disarmed and/or distracted by kids in the street while traveling, it can cost you more than a watch sometimes.

Some of these gangs like in Southeast Asia/Mexico and Central/South America use scams like this to draw people into kidnapping situations.
