Tourists trapped by fake Paris rentals listed on Booking.com
Visitors staying near the Eiffel Tower are repeatedly shown a non-existent apartment advertised on Booking, leaving them frustrated and empty-handed.
For the past four days, tourists arriving at an address beside the Champ-de-Mars have been greeted by a concierge named Marie-Jo, only to discover that the apartment they booked on Booking does not exist. The false listing has caused a steady stream of disappointed guests from early morning until after midnight. The scam appears to be coordinated through the popular travel platform, targeting travelers seeking accommodation close to the landmark.
