Airline Mango said on Wednesday it was stepping up anti-fraud procedures following a spike in fraudulent transactions and an increased occurrence of cloned cards.

As of February 5, all online and telephonic card bookings will require the physical card or a copy thereof as well as a copy of the cardholder's ID document present at check-in.

“The procedure is designed to protect cardholders,” said Mango chief executive, Nico Bezuidenhout. He said that during a test period the airline uncovered as many as three cloned cards over a period of two days.

Bezuidenhout said travellers could assist in preventing theft by not packing valuables in their checked luggage. “Expensive items such as cell-phones, cameras, tablets, gifts and such should never be checked in. Keep it on your person and avoid creating temptation.” - I-Net Bridge
