Online Scams in Tamarindo

Online Surf Camp and Package Booking Fraud

Fraudulent surf camp websites and Instagram pages advertising Tamarindo surf packages collect deposits of 200 to 600 USD for week-long accommodations plus lessons that either do not exist or are dramatically inferior to what was advertised. Some scammers create near-identical clone sites of legitimate Tamarindo surf schools. Victims arrive to find no reservation, a different and lower-quality facility, or lessons conducted by uncertified instructors.
