Accommodation Scams in Monterrey

Fake Online Accommodation Listings

Fraudulent short-term rental listings targeting business travelers and tourists in Monterrey use photos of genuine upscale properties in San Pedro Garza García and Centro and request full payment via wire transfer before check-in. Given Monterrey's significant business travel demand, properties are priced and staged to appear legitimate corporate housing. Victims arrive to find the address non-existent or occupied by the actual owner.
