How it works
Scammers pose as luxury hotel staff via email or phone claiming your reservation requires immediate payment or verification. They create fake confirmation pages and redirect you to phishing sites that capture credit card and passport details. This is particularly common during peak Milan fashion week when travelers book accommodations last-minute.
