How it works
Scammers pose as property owners on unofficial booking sites or email, offering cheap short-term rentals in Naples historic districts. After payment via wire transfer or untraceable method, the apartment is either non-existent or occupied. Common in Spaccanapoli and Spanish Quarter neighborhoods where tourist demand is highest.
