Warning About Online Fraud in Accommodation Bookings
April 19, 2026
The Consumer Association has received 15 complaints regarding online fraud related to a popular accommodation booking platform. Fraudsters send messages that appear to originate from the platform, asking for around 100 euros to confirm bookings. Many consumers have already been charged, with the amount not reaching the website. The Association warns that large platforms do not request additional payments via email and urges people to be cautious. There are also complaints about holiday packages that were either not executed at all or partially fulfilled.
