Airport Scams Are On the Rise — Never Fall For These 3 Common Traps

In this short advisory video, Nick Perry warns travelers about three prevalent airport scams that can lead to legal trouble, financial loss, or identity theft. First, he cautions against agreeing to hold someone else’s bag, as it may contain illegal items that could get the holder arrested. Second, he advises against using public airport Wi‑Fi, explaining that hackers can instantly access emails, banking apps, and personal photos, so travelers should rely on cellular data instead. Third, he warns not to discard boarding passes, because the barcode encodes the traveler’s full name, frequent‑flyer number, and enough data for a stranger to hijack the airline account. Perry concludes by urging viewers to share the advice with friends and family to keep them safe.
