Keep an Eye on Your Luggage
You may have no choice but to hand your suitcases over to the airlines, but once you're off the plane, keep your luggage nearby. Sleight-of-hand artists and distraction experts may try to get their hands on your bags, stealing them before you know what's happened.
Check Your Bill
Americans are accustomed to glancing superficially at the restaurant or hotel bill, paying it, and moving on. If you're in an unfamiliar country, however, it pays to give the bill a second glance. Make sure the prices match up to those quoted on the menu and that you haven't been charged for anything extra.
Watch Your Credit Cards
Credit card fraud grows by leaps and bounds every year. Even with credit card companies doing everything they can to implement counter-measures, the smart criminals are usually a step or two ahead of the game. Don't let your credit card out of your sight, even for a moment, or you could be asking for trouble.
