Online Scams in Fez

Fake Riad Wi-Fi Phishing Portal

Several budget riads and guesthouses in the Fez el-Bali medina use unencrypted Wi-Fi networks with names mimicking legitimate hotel networks. When connecting, guests are redirected to a login page that harvests email passwords and credit card details entered for "verification." This is particularly common in smaller unlicensed guesthouses accessed via the alleyways off Derb el-Miter and Talaa Sghira.
