💨 Abstract

Four individuals were arrested for allegedly scamming hundreds of tourists by making fake villa bookings in Goa through online platforms since 2022. The accused, based in Hyderabad, used a rented room to trick tourists and collected advance payments by exploiting loopholes on online booking platforms. Over 500 people have reportedly been affected by this scam, and efforts are underway to contact the victims and formally record their complaints.
