Accommodation Scams in Gdansk

Hotel Room Phone Phishing

Scammers call hotel room phones in Gdansk and pose as the front desk receptionist, claiming there is a problem with the guest's credit card on file and requesting card details for "verification." The call may arrive late at night when guests are less alert. Once card details are provided, fraudulent transactions are made immediately. This scam is documented across Poland's Baltic resort cities including Gdansk, Sopot, and Gdynia, and is most active during the summer tourist season.
