Almost 5,000 euros for nothing: family falls for false finca offer on Mallorca. Family from Great Britain spent a year saving for their vacation in Mallorcan.
The woman became aware of the finca through Airbnb. The advertisement stated that the request for the desired booking details should be made via WhatsApp. After booking, the mother became suspicious: When she asked for further information about checking in at the accommodation via WhatsApp, she no longer received any messages. Shortly before the family was about to leave for the airport, they received a call from their mother, who had paid for the accommodation.
