Online Scams in Key West

Fake Key West Vacation Rental Online Listing

Fraudulent vacation rental listings targeting Key West visitors advertise non-existent or unavailable properties on third-party classifieds and social media at attractive below-market rates. Scammers request wire transfers or Zelle payments to "hold" the property, issue fake confirmation emails, and disappear. With Key West's high accommodation costs, deposits commonly range from $500 to $2,500.
