Accommodation Scams in Albufeira

Fake Holiday Rental Listing

Fraudulent apartment rental listings appear on general classified sites advertising properties in Albufeira at below-market prices. Victims pay deposits or full amounts via bank transfer only to arrive and find the property does not exist, is already occupied, or bears no resemblance to photos. Demand for short-term rentals in Albufeira during summer creates the conditions for this fraud.
