They prey on foreign airlines as the penalties are so lenient, the pay- off makes it worth the risk. I naively have never thought of robbers operating on planes, but now I have experienced it first hand, there are a few takeaways:

Hand luggage should always be locked. Do not assume luggage under your seat is safe....last week one passenger had her purse

stolen by the guy sitting next to her while she slept! If in doubt, wear or keep any valuables ON YOU at all times! Don't assume, like me, that everyone on a flight is a law-abiding citizen.

5. Do not assume business class travel is secure....robbers can be wealthy.

When Radha Baijal checked her email on November 3 last year to see if there was any response to her application for a job in the UN, she couldn't believe her eyes. In her inbox lay a letter saying she had landed her dream job. As it turned out, Radha shouldn't have believed her incredibly good luck. For though she had posted her application on the genuine UN site, the 24-year-old schoolteacher from the Capital today finds herself poorer by Rs 1.5 lakh and smarting with the realization that she' has been had. Here is what happened. Radha received a signed reply from one Dr Christy Owen, "Chief Administrative Officer, US Committee for the UN", confirming her appointment. The email communication carried the UN logo and address. As instructed, she contacted one Kate Bruce at the given email address for instructions before she was to fly off for a "training program in Seattle". Radha was instructed to transfer Rs 1.5 lakh into a US bank via a given swift account number. The unsuspecting victim delved into her father's retirement benefits and sent the money. Radha smelled a rat only when she responded to a second request for money - this time for Rs 70,000 – by saying she had none and asking that it be deducted from her promised salary of $152,678 per year. That's when all communication from the other end stopped. N.Y. Suresh Kumar, a zoology scholar in Kerala, received a similar letter saying he'd been "selected" for the post of environmental officer in the "United Nation Center for Development Initiative" and a request for $2,280. Luckily for him, Suresh Kumar got the letter checked by the UN Information Center’s office in Delhi and was told that the UN had no such outfit. In the last six months, a number of people from across the country have approached the Delhi office to verify the authenticity of "job confirmation letters" sent to them by email and post. These letters come complete with the UN logo and address of the United Nations headquarters in New York. In all cases, the letters have turned out to be fake. The Geneva office of UNAIDS' had in' September last year issued a worldwide alert warning people to verify the authenticity of emails and letters carrying its logo or address before meeting any request for money. It had also requested people to provide details of suspect communications to help investigate the fraud. How they're duped

All letters came with UN logo and address of UN headquarters in New York Job offers were followed by requests for money There were also invitations to conferences and training programme The Delhi office of UN Information Centre has received several requests for verification of

the authenticity of such 'job confirmation letters' in last six months
