Police are urging people to be on their guard when booking holiday accommodation after a number of victims reported they’d been duped by a Facebook Marketplace holiday accommodation scam.
The scam, which first came to light in May of this year, involves the fraudulent use of images of genuine holiday accommodation in Donegal to reel in unsuspecting victims.
To date, the PSNI has received 20 reports, but it’s believed others may have fallen victim to this scam.
