Online Scams in Malaga

Fake Malaga Holiday Rental Listings

Copycat websites and social media posts advertise holiday apartments in Malaga's historic centre, El Palo, and Pedregalejo beach areas at below-market prices. Scammers request deposits by bank transfer or cryptocurrency, then disappear before the traveller arrives. The listings frequently use photos stolen from legitimate properties on Airbnb or Booking.com, making them difficult to distinguish from genuine offers.
