www.kevincoffee.com provides tips on travel safety
|
Kevin Coffey, a.k.a. ‘The Scholar of Thievery’ is a detective who specialises in travel safety. At www.kevincoffee.com, clicking on the ‘Safety Tips’ link takes you to a sea of informa
tion that is designed to protect the average traveller from stalkers, phone card fraud, luggage theft and pretty much anything else you can think of.
The tips are anything but generic, since the founder of the website is a veteran cop. In the ‘Lost or stolen air ticket’ section, for example, the site gives you a step-by-step process to follow and offers some useful hints like making a photocopy of your ticket as soon as you buy it.
Coffey also throws light on credit card scams that are common during international travel (“that wasn’t the front desk calling to confirm your credit card number and expiration date”). For those who worry about having passports and money stolen while on the move, there are suggestions like neck pouches and hidden pocket wallets. For women’s safety, there are subsections that have valuable pointers on solo travelling, the date rape drug and other miscellaneous caveats.
