Online Scams in Zadar

Online Apartment Deposit Fraud

Fraudulent rental listings for Zadar old town apartments and Borik resort accommodation circulate on social media and private rental forums targeting summer tourists. After a deposit is paid by bank transfer, the host disappears or claims the booking is voided due to a technical error. Properties shown in photos are often real Zadar apartments whose images have been copied without consent. Deposits of 100–250 EUR are typically unrecoverable.
