๐Barry Goode from Tiny, Ontario, paid over $7,700 for a luxury villa in Costa Rica listed on Booking.com, only to find out it was a fake listing. Despite appearing legitimate with good reviews, Goode was directed to communicate via WhatsApp for payment. After wiring the funds, the listing changed, and Goode couldn't get any information about the villa. When he complained to Booking.com, he was offered $500 in compensation, which he refused. Travel experts warn against making payments outside of official platforms, as it removes protections.โ . ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ. ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐ (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ค๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ@๐ญ๐ก๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐.๐๐จ๐ฆ @kamalpillai_realtor . . #ScamAlert #BookingDotCom #FakeListing #TravelScam #OntarioMan #CostaRica #OnlineBooking #TravelWarning #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
