Accommodation Scams in Tangier

Fake Guesthouse Bookings on Clone Websites

Scammers create replica websites of popular Tangier riads and guesthouses in the medina, offering discounts 20-30 percent below market rate. Travelers book and prepay but arrive to find the real property has no record of their reservation. Deposits are lost and accommodations must be found last-minute. Riads in the Old Medina are most commonly cloned.
