How it works
Fraudulent listings on third-party booking platforms advertise well-reviewed riads and guesthouses in Casablanca's old medina at competitive prices. After booking confirmation, victims receive a message that the property is "full" and are redirected to an inferior or nonexistent alternative operated by the same fraudster. In some cases, no alternative is offered and the deposit is simply not returned.
