What a day today... had to "fight" scammers in real life... I hope they can be found, wherever they are. Either way, now some time with family... see ya later.

oh wow! what type of scam did they pull?
fake rentals (kind of renting a house that is not even on the market)
oh yeah that is an old one
yeah, but the large scale platforms like booking.com and such should be penalized for not having better security and watching these things. They are effectively winning money with everyone.
this happened on booking? Wtf?
This happens more or less around the globe in the places they know bookings might start getting rare because of events. Then its when they attack and create fake bookings that people desperately fell on.
Either way, they lost... with me at least. And I was able to collect some email addresses and paypal traceable's for the authorities to pursue.
And this is valid for ANY kind of booking platform, not just booking.com, so stay sharp, especially when you are having a hard time booking something.
Scammers are usually in telegram and discord. I almost gave away my keys one time 😅
These are different scammers... more like cruel criminals that act strategically and in groups with strategies that they know to have some level of success, even if its only work for a while. Then they bail off and start again when the time is right again. These are not constantly active around the same type of scam, so are quite important to catch.
Good work today enjoy your family time
