How it works
Scammers posing as Malaga airport taxi operators call tourist phone numbers (often obtained from hotel booking sites) offering "discounted airport transfers." They collect payment via card details or bank transfer, then never send a taxi. Real taxis must be arranged at official airport counters or through your hotel.
