Halton Trading Standards is urging consumers to remain vigilant when booking holiday accommodation. They have received recent reports of fraudulent holiday property listings falsely claiming to be located in England and world-wide. These scams are often promoted through social media adverts or professional‑looking websites, making them increasingly difficult to spot.

These types of scams are becoming more prevalent, and the use of AI technologies can make fraudulent listings appear highly convincing.

They are asking all visitors booking accommodation in the Keswick area and surrounding regions to take extra care and verify that a property is legitimate before making any payments.
