What is the "Bogus "Private Chef" Villa Dinner Scam" scam in Grand Cayman?

Question

Accepted Answer

With Grand Cayman's popularity for luxury villa rentals, scammers post social media or Craigslist ads for private chef dinner experiences, take a deposit of $150–$400, then either do not show up or arrive without the advertised premium ingredients, demanding more money on arrival. Source private culinary experiences only through your villa management company or verified platforms like Cozymeal or TripAdvisor Experiences. Never pay a full deposit via bank transfer to an individual met on social media. A legitimate chef will have verifiable reviews and a business profile.
