Accommodation 40% below market price, “only two spots left” and payment only by bank transfer — three signs of a holiday scam. DNSC renewed its summer-season warning: fraudsters post attractive listings with photos stolen from real venues, then pressure you to pay fast.

- Verify the operator separately, not just the link in the listing.
- Pay through the platform or by card, never by transfer to a personal account.
- At the company: any new IBAN from a supplier is confirmed by phone, on a number you already know.
