Online Scams in Tahiti

Fake Overwater Bungalow Rental Listings

Fraudulent listings for overwater bungalows and private fare accommodation in Bora Bora and Moorea circulate on short-term rental platforms and social media. These listings use stolen photos from legitimate resorts, feature below-market prices, and typically request wire transfer or crypto payment to secure the booking. Victims arrive to find no reservation exists at the property, or the property does not exist at all.
