Group of luggage handlers charged illegal fees to passengers at Lisbon Airport
Police identified six employees of a ground handling company who were running a scam by charging passengers illegal fees for baggage transport under the threat of preventing them from boarding flights. The suspects collected payments directly in cash or through personal digital methods like MbWay, often targeting elderly or vulnerable travelers.
Why it matters
If you are using Lisbon Airport, be aware that official luggage services should be part of your airline's booking; any request for payment directly to a staff member's personal account or in cash for 'excess' luggage at the gate is a scam and should be reported to the PSP.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
