(Podcast #586)","description":"Cruise scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and some are now targeting experienced cruisers using information that can make the approach seem remarkably genuine. In this video, I look at some of the cruise scams I\u2019m seeing and hearing about most often right now, and I also explain how scammers can sometimes know an alarming amount about your upcoming cruise \u2014 including your ship, sailing date, itinerary and travel plans \u2014 and the surprisingly simple ways they are getting that information. I also share the warning signs I look for and the steps I take to check whether a message, account, website or request for payment is genuine before handing over money or personal information. These scams can catch out even very experienced travellers, so these are things I think every cruiser should know before their next trip. &amp;nbsp;  Become a Tips For Travellers Patron: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/tipsfortravellers and get exclusive Patron-only content, downloads and livestreams Visit my Tips For Travellers YouTube:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/tipsfortravellers  &amp;nbsp; Offers:  Get 10% any order of The Cruise Maps who you visit the site using this link: https:\/\/www.TheCruiseMaps.com\/TFT Get up to 30% off collectible tokens of place you\u2019ve visited using the link: https:\/\/www.TheWanderClub.com\/TFT  ","author_name":"Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers","author_url":"http:\/\/tips4travellers.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/42793065\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/205991240"}
