Holiday Scammers

Two Bigastro-based con men, who took bookings for non-existent holiday apartment rentals on the Mar Menor, have been detained by the Guardia Civil. At least five people are said to have been defrauded by the Spanish duo, who took deposits and offered nothing in return after advertising the properties through leaflets and contact cards.

One case, according to the Guardia, actually saw two people arrive for a break at the same property at the same time to find that they had both been conned.
