By Amy Cavender
A tourist who had been enjoying a whirlwind tour around WA was left distraught after discovering she’d had hundreds of dollars stolen on her way home.
Mej de Castro was travelling home to the Philippines from Perth and connected to free Wi-Fi at Perth Airport and Changi Airport in Singapore to send a few quick updates to her family.
Just hours later, she noticed unauthorised transactions used to buy flights coming out of her account totalling $399.
