Frequent travelers need to keep their guard up, as credit card and debit card scams are on the rise. A recent story on credit card scams abroad says that in the DR crooks have been known to use photographic film or paper to jam ATMs and when the customer thinks his card is irretrievably lost and leaves, the thieves come back and steal the card.

They urge consumers to treat their ATM card as cash. They also recommend informing your bank when you will be traveling.
