There are holiday rentals scams at the best of times, but the current crisis has given the fraudsters a new opportunity. Villas and chalets can be rented at giveaway prices. Typically and is often the case, these aren't rental properties. Beautiful photos claiming to be of a holiday rental villa have been copied from sources such as estate agency sites with villas for sale. Even if they are rentals, these too have been copied.

Anyone silly enough to not follow guidlines of payment protection will be sucked in It is their choice so don’t go crying they have been scammed It should never happen but every year it does and not just in Mallorca
No sympathy for the people scammed. They have been scammed because they are greedy and want a bargain. You always rent a villa through a proper company with appropriate tourism certifications. These people are the types that fall for the Nigerian schemes where you've won £100,000 but you need to send us £2,000 first before we can send it to you 🤯
