Question 1

What is the "ATM Skimming Near the Station" scam in Rimini?

Accepted Answer

Standalone ATMs in commercial areas near the Rimini railway station and in tourist-facing shops near the waterfront have been targeted by skimming operations during peak summer season. Use ATMs on external walls of named bank branches such as Banca Intesa, UniCredit, or Monte dei Paschi. Cover the PIN pad when entering your code. Enable real-time transaction alerts.

Question 2

What is the "Fake Parking Attendant" scam in Rimini?

Accepted Answer

In the areas around the Rimini railway station and near the historic city centre, unofficial individuals approach drivers at parking areas and accept parking fees that are then not submitted to any authority. Some operate in areas that are free parking zones and simply collect money from visitors who assume all parking in a town centre is paid. Only pay parking fees at official automated machines (Parcometro) which issue a printed ticket. Do not hand cash to any individual who approaches you at a parking area. Check whether you are in a paid zone (blue lines) or a free zone (white lines) before paying anything.
