Scams
Fake Hotel Booking Scams
- Fraudsters create fake booking websites or advertise luxury stays at unrealistically low prices. Once the payment is made, the booking is non-existent, and the scammer disappears.
- Tip: Always book through reputable websites and confirm your reservation directly with the hotel.
AI-Generated Fake Call Scams
- Scammers are using AI technology to mimic voices of loved ones or officials, calling you to ask for money or urgent help.
- Tip: Always verify requests for money via a separate channel, like calling the person back directly.
Currency Exchange Rip-Offs
- Some currency exchange services offer seemingly good rates but charge hidden fees or provide counterfeit currency.
- Tip: Use well-known exchange services, and avoid exchanging money in areas that seem suspicious or unregulated.
Impersonation of Local Authorities
- Scammers pretending to be police, customs officers, or immigration staff demand money for fines or bribes.
- Tip: Always ask to see proper identification and do not hand over cash. Contact your embassy if needed.
Fake Tour Operators
- Fraudulent tour companies promise luxury excursions at low prices but either cancel last minute or take your money without providing the service.
- Tip: Book tours through reputable agencies, check reviews, and confirm all details in writing.
Vacation Rental Scams
- Scammers post fake listings for vacation rentals, often for properties that don’t exist or aren’t available. Once you send money, they disappear.
- Tip: Use trusted vacation rental websites like Airbnb or Vrbo. Never send money through unverified payment methods.
Free Wi-Fi Phishing Scams
- Hackers set up fake Wi-Fi networks with names similar to legitimate ones in popular tourist spots. Once you connect, your personal information may be compromised.
- Tip: Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive activities. Use a VPN or mobile data whenever possible.
Overpriced Taxi and Ride-Share Scams
- Some taxi drivers or ride-share operators will overcharge tourists or take longer routes to increase fares.
- Tip: Always agree on the fare in advance, use official ride-sharing apps, or ask your hotel for a recommended service.
Sextortion Scams Targeting Tourists
- Scammers prey on tourists by posing as romantic partners online and then threatening to release explicit images unless a ransom is paid.
- Tip: Be cautious with online interactions and avoid sharing personal or explicit content. Report any threats to local authorities.
“Helpful” Strangers Asking for Money
- Some individuals will approach tourists, offering to help with directions or carrying luggage, then demand high tips or money once the task is done.
- Tip: Politely refuse unsolicited assistance, especially in tourist-heavy areas, and only tip those who have provided legitimate services.
How to Protect Yourself:
- Do Your Research: Before you travel, look up common scams in the area you’re visiting and check online reviews for any service or business.
- Use Secure Payment Methods: Stick to credit cards or well-known payment apps when paying for services, rather than cash, to reduce the risk of being scammed.
- Trust Your Instincts: If something feels too good to be true (like an unbelievably low hotel rate or a too-perfect tour deal), it probably is.
- Report Suspicious Activity: Always report scams to local authorities or your embassy to prevent others from falling victim.
Things to be aware of
Cultural Etiquette
- Respect for Elders
- Jamaicans place a strong emphasis on respect for older people. Always address elders with courtesy, using terms like “Mr.” or “Miss” followed by their surname.
- Friendly and Warm Greetings
- Jamaicans are known for being very friendly. “Wah Gwaan?” or “How yuh do?” are common greetings in Patois (Jamaican Creole). Don’t be surprised if strangers greet you with a smile or conversation.
- Important Socializing Norms
- Social life is vibrant, and it’s not uncommon for people to engage in friendly conversation with strangers. Be open to chat, but also be mindful of personal space and boundaries, especially in more rural or less touristy areas.
- Religion and Spirituality
- Religion plays an important role in Jamaican culture, with Christianity being the predominant faith. However, Rastafarianism is also widely respected. Be sensitive when discussing religion, and be aware that some people may have a deep connection to their spiritual practices.
Gestures and Body Language
- Hand Gestures
- “Thumbs Up”: A positive gesture, usually indicating approval or agreement.
- “Peace Sign”: While often used in a friendly way, be cautious when making the peace sign (V-sign). If your palm is facing outward, it’s acceptable. If the palm faces inward (toward you), it can be considered offensive, similar to the middle finger in other cultures.
- Personal Space
- In Jamaica, personal space may feel a little closer than in some Western cultures, especially when having casual conversations with locals. However, always be aware of someone’s comfort zone and adjust accordingly.
- Handshake Etiquette
- A firm handshake is common when meeting someone for the first time. It’s polite to greet with a handshake, and sometimes a quick hug may follow if you’re familiar with the person.
- Pointing and Physical Contact
- Pointing directly at people is seen as impolite. Use your chin to point at something or someone instead.
- Physical touch, like hugs or handshakes, is common among friends, but always be respectful of cultural norms in more conservative areas.
Dress Code and Attire
- Casual, But Respectful
- In touristy areas, casual beachwear is common, but when going into local towns or public places, it’s advisable to dress more modestly. For example, wearing shorts and tank tops to a local church or restaurant might not be appropriate.
- Covering Shoulders and Knees for Religious Sites
- When visiting churches or religious sites, it’s respectful to cover shoulders and knees. If you’re not sure, it’s best to dress conservatively out of respect.
- Beachwear Etiquette
- While it’s common to wear swimwear at beaches and resorts, it is considered inappropriate to wear it in public areas like shopping centers or restaurants. Always cover up when you leave the beach.
- Footwear
- Flip-flops are fine for the beach, but you may want to wear closed-toe shoes or sandals when visiting local restaurants or more formal settings.
Social Customs and Behavior
- Tipping
- Tipping is customary in Jamaica, particularly in restaurants and for service workers like tour guides, bellhops, and drivers. Generally, a 10-15% tip is appreciated if service charges are not already included in your bill.
- Respecting Local Traditions
- Jamaicans value their cultural heritage and history, particularly their music, food, and spirituality. Be respectful when discussing topics such as Rastafarianism, the Reggae music culture, or Jamaican independence.
- Punctuality
- While punctuality is generally expected for business settings, Jamaicans often have a relaxed approach to time in social settings. Be patient if someone arrives a little later than planned.
Cultural Sensitivities to Be Aware Of
- Homophobia
- While Jamaica has made progress in terms of LGBTQ+ rights, it remains a sensitive topic for some locals. It’s advisable to be discreet and respectful in discussions about sexual orientation, especially outside of tourist areas.
- Avoiding Sensitive Topics
- Politics and race are sensitive topics in Jamaica. Be mindful of these subjects unless you’re with people who openly discuss them.
- Drug Use
- Marijuana has been decriminalized for personal use in small amounts, but it’s still illegal to sell. Public smoking is also prohibited in many areas, so avoid smoking in non-designated places.
- Avoiding Stereotypes
- Jamaica has a rich and diverse culture. Be cautious about using stereotypes (e.g., assuming everyone knows or is involved with reggae music or Rastafarianism). While these are important elements of culture, not everyone identifies with them.
Food Etiquette
- Sharing Food
- Jamaicans are generous and often share food with guests. It’s customary to try the local dishes, like jerk chicken, curried goat, ackee and saltfish, and festival.
- Respect for Local Dishes
- If you are invited to a local’s home, it’s polite to accept food offered to you. Refusing food can be seen as disrespectful.
- Avoiding Waste
- Be mindful of the amount of food you take. Wasting food in Jamaica, where poverty can be an issue, might be considered disrespectful

- Heavy Rainfall: The rainy season also peaks in the summer months, causing higher humidity and frequent heavy rain, particularly in the island’s interior. This could disrupt outdoor activities, like sightseeing or hiking.
- Humidity and Heat: While Jamaica is hot year-round, the rainy season brings more humidity, making it feel uncomfortable at times. Some travelers might find the heat too intense during these months.
