Accommodation Scams in Oxford

Fraudulent Short-Term Rentals Near the Radcliffe Camera

Fake short-term rental listings claim to offer rooms or flats within walking distance of the Radcliffe Camera and the Bodleian Library. Scam hosts use photographs scraped from legitimate estate agent listings of Oxford Victorian terraces and price them at £75–150 per night to attract conference attendees and graduation visitors. Bookings are taken via bank transfer and the property does not exist at the stated address.
