A new luggage tag scam has been taking off.

An airport worker, who claimed to be a Delta Air Lines baggage claims manager, took to Reddit to warn travelers about a “growing” scam.

“I just wanted to let everyone know to please start discarding your bag tags at home,” they wrote.

The poster claimed that there has been an “influx of fraudulent claims” submitted for missing items, with people using tossed luggage tags to make the claims.

“These people are observing who is removing their luggage tags in the claim areas and using your information to submit claims for reimbursement,” they wrote.

The manager explained that from their own personal experience dealing with this, it’s creating issues when it comes to reimbursing people with a legitimate claim submitted.
