However, recently, cases have become more frequent when scammers disguise themselves as holiday houses, who, with the help of several clever tricks, take over user pages, or, even worse, write off funds from the cards of gullible “customers”.
We will tell you what you should pay attention to when booking accommodation via social networks and how to avoid meeting with scammers.
1. Link in the profile header
This is the main red flag! If the page does not contain information about the price, location, available dates, etc. anywhere, and in return you are offered to find out all this information by clicking on the link in the profile header — these are scammers right away.
After clicking on the suggested link, it is highly likely that your Instagram profile will be blocked, or funds will be debited from your bank card.
