How it works
Police have found card skimming devices attached to ATMs in tourist areas of Naples, including near the main train station. Devices steal card data while cameras record PINs, enabling full account access.
How it works
Street food vendors and small kiosks along Spaccanapoli — particularly around Via dei Tribunali and near the Pio Monte della Misericordia — commonly short-change tourists by handing back change for a smaller note than was given, or by palming one of the notes returned. The vendor typically works quickly and relies on the language barrier and the crowded, chaotic environment to prevent the tourist from recounting.
