Namibian credit card fraud continues to target tourists
Credit card fraud within the Namibian tourism sector appears to be ongoing according to reports in The Namibian this week. Last year (October 20) TravelHub reported that the Federation of Namibian Tourism Associations cautioned that there had been several reports by foreign tourists of credit card irregularities. It is believed that tourists are being specifically targeted.
The fraud involves the use of scanning machines to copy card information. The machine is described as a small, black, handheld device. Tourists are advised to not let their cards out of their sight and if possible to scan the card themselves.
