The growing luggage tag scam happening at airports and hotels that could leave you out of pocket

The loophole could leave you seriously affected BAGGAGE ALERT The growing luggage tag scam happening at airports and hotels that could leave you out of pocket Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the growing luggage tag scam that's happening at airports and hotels which could leave you out of pocket. Families all over the UK are jetting off on exotic getaways for the summer months, particularly as August gets into gear. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Potential holidaymakers have been given an urgent baggage warning Credit: Getty 5 A baggage claims manager from U.S. airline Delta has issued a caution to travellers Credit: AP 5 The worker asked people to take off their baggage tags Credit: Getty However, families have been issued a warning from an inside source working at an airport. One social media user who works at U.S. airline Delta, took to fan forum platform Reddit to issue an urgent caution. Remove tags at home They started a dedicated thread titled 'Toss your bag tags at home!' as they warned that people are taking advantage of a loophole around baggage tags. They wrote: "I am a Delta baggage claims manager. "I just wanted to let everyone know to please start discarding your bag tags at home. "We are getting an influx of fraudulent claims being submitted for 'missing items' as these people are observing who is removing their luggage tags in the claim areas and using your information to submit claims for reimbursement." The manager continued: "From my own personal experience in currently dealing with this, it is causing issues with reimbursing the real people if they submit a legitimate claim. The airline worker added: "So please be careful and don't take your tags off at the airport. "They can steal enough information from that to use your travel itinerary to get paid." Triple-check suitcases before heading to airport This comes after Britons were warned to triple check their suitcases before heading to the airport. Airport baggage handler issues warning about item 'never to pack' that will see you 'called from plane' and searched A number of onboard plane fires have led to new rules being introduced when it comes to travelling with power banks. The current rules ban portable chargers being carried in checked luggage which have been in place since 2016. This is because of fears of them setting on fire, with it unable to be contained if it happens in the hold. The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) warns: "Poorly manufactured, faulty and misused lithium batteries and those which have not been protected against short circuit can experience something called 'thermal runaway'. "This results in them getting so hot that they can catch fire, explode and ignite other nearby batteries. "If that were to happen on the flight deck it could significantly disrupt the operation of the aircraft and cause serious injury to flight crew." 5 The airline personnel warned that people are issuing fraudulent claims Credit: Getty
