Question 1

What is the "Scratch Card Timeshare Trap" scam in Lloret de Mar?

Accepted Answer

Promoters outside supermarkets and on the Lloret promenade distribute scratch cards that always win a prize redeemable at a resort presentation. The presentation is a timeshare or resort ownership sales pitch lasting two to four hours with high-pressure closing tactics. Decline all scratch card offers. No legitimate prize requires attending a presentation. EU consumer law gives you the right to leave any timeshare presentation at any time.

Question 2

What is the "Quad Bike Damage Claim" scam in Lloret de Mar?

Accepted Answer

Quad rental operators near the resort claim pre-existing damage as new on return, demanding 100-300 EUR in cash. Rhodes Road safety statistics repeatedly highlight Lloret de Mar and other Costa Brava resorts as hotspots for rental vehicle fraud. Photograph all vehicle surfaces before riding and send timestamped photos to yourself. Never leave your passport as a deposit. Pay by card for recourse to dispute.
