Scams to watch for in Germany
- Pickpocketing in crowds and on public transportThieves take belongings from pockets or bags in busy places. Crowds and rush-hour travel make it harder to notice a theft.
- High fees at independent ATMsThese machines usually charge high convenience fees for withdrawals. This is a fee risk rather than evidence that the machine is fraudulent.
- Poor ATM currency conversionAn ATM may offer to convert the withdrawal into your home currency. This service, called Dynamic Currency Conversion, may use a poor rate with an exchange markup.
