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.
According to reports, some tourists lose thousands of pounds by falling for a tech scam. Birmingham Live has reported tourists going to Tenerife are being caught out by scammers who offer the travellers a great deal on a piece of tech.
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.
