Apartment booking disappeared after payment

Scam date: 2026-06-20 Reported: 2026-08-09

I booked an apartment online that looked very real with photos and reviews. The owner asked me to pay a deposit by bank transfer to confirm the reservation. After I sent the money, the listing disappeared and the person stopped replying to my messages. I later realized the listing was fake.

We went to a small restaurant near the Colosseum. The menu didn’t list prices for drinks and starters. After eating, the bill came to €180 for two people, even though we only ordered a pasta and drinks. The staff refused to explain the charges and insisted we pay immediately. We felt tricked and overcharged.
