Online Scams in Sofia

Fake Online Tour Booking with No Operator

Travel websites and email offers advertise "authentic Sofia communist-era tours" or "rooftop bar crawls" that don't exist or aren't operated by registered companies. After payment of 40-80 USD, confirmation emails are vague or never sent; contact phone numbers are disconnected; the supposed meeting point has no one present. The booking site often disappears or deletes the listing within days. Official Sofia tours are run by licensed operators with office addresses and consistent phone lines.
