Réservations frauduleuses

Exemples d’escroqueries de réservations typiques


Dans ce type de fraude, les réservations d’hôtel sont faites et annulées peu de temps après. Le paiement anticipé souvent élevé doit être remboursé non pas sur la carte de crédit originale (volée) mais via Western Union/virement bancaire ou encore à un tiers. L’hôtel est donc utilisé pour du blanchissement d’argent sans le savoir.

Caractéristiques :

  • La réservation vient de l’étranger et nécessite une réponse à une adresse mail gratuite (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.).
  • Le texte de réservation contient beaucoup d’erreurs de grammaire et l’hôtel n’est en général pas nommé directement (« Your hotel », « in your City », etc.).
  • La réservation est souvent à court terme, pour beaucoup de personnes et/ou pour un nombre anormalement élevé de nuits. L’invité est néanmoins très flexible et accepte volontiers des prix élevés ou d’autres suggestions de date.
  • Dans les communications suivantes, l’invité n’est pas intéressé par les environs, les attractions, etc.
  • Il ne va principalement s’intéresser qu’aux modalités de paiement.
  • Un montant supérieur à celui nécessaire pour la réservation de l’hôtel est payé. Le surplus doit plus tard être versé prétendument à des tiers (agence de voyage, voiture de location, etc.).
