Vacation fraud in Rhineland-Palatinate: How to protect yourself from falling!

Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland - bargain hunters! With the summer in front of the door and the holiday planning in full swing, the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate and the consumer center against fraudulent online offers for holiday accommodation. Many tempting cheap ads turn out to be fraud - the dream accommodation simply does not exist! If you book here without caution and pay in advance, you could stand in front of a pile of broken glass: No holiday home, no contact person, no money back!

To be on the safe side, vacationers should remain vigilant! Fraudulent offers are usually characterized by unusually low prices, fake impresses and the demand for prepayment. Telephone inquiries often remain unanswered, and when booking, secure payment methods such as credit card should be preferred. In the event of suspicion, quick action is required: inform the platform, file a complaint with the police and keep all booking proofs. Avoid expensive vacation vacations that end in disaster!
