How it works
Scammers list non-existent or already-occupied guesthouses on Airbnb, Booking.com, and local rental sites using photos stolen from real properties. Tourists transfer deposits but arrive to find the address doesn't exist or is occupied by another guest. This is rampant in the Old Bazaar where many guesthouses are clustered.
