How it works
During Mendoza's Vendimia grape harvest festival (late February to early March) accommodation demand peaks sharply. Fraudulent listings appear on accommodation platforms offering non-existent apartments or rooms at inflated prices, collecting deposits before disappearing. Legitimate properties also misrepresent quality or location during this high-demand period.
