Travellers should be on their guard
As households across the country start to prepare for their annual summer holiday or perhaps a welcome spring break, Brits are being warned to take care when relaxing in foreign climes. Usually savvy travellers may let their guard down when relaxing overseas, but tourist are being urged to stay vigilant in light of a long-running scam operating in Spain.
The scam involves an 'amazing' deal being offered on a laptop, iPad, phone or a similar device. However, the report continues saying the store owners then distract the buyers while they either clone their card or charge a far higher fee than agreed.According to a case reported by the MailOnline, one tourist revealed how she was secretly charged more than £2,000 for a tablet device that was supposed to cost her just £150.
He said: "He struck up a conversation and was asking us about property and tobacco and all of this before he eventually said he had tablets for sale at a great price". Mr Evans said he paid for the tablet with €50 cash before the store's 'software engineer' approached him and insisted it should be upgraded with a subscription package that would allow them to watch UK television while abroad.
