π¨ IMPORTANT WARNING: FACEBOOK ACCOMMODATION BOOKING SCAMS β PERNA PERNA UMDLOTI π¨
We would like to urgently warn the public about an increasing number of fraudulent accommodation bookings being advertised through Facebook, particularly involving properties at Perna Perna Umdloti.
Unfortunately, we are receiving reports almost every week of holidaymakers who have paid for accommodation, only to arrive at Perna Perna and discover that their booking does not exist and they have been scammed.
Fraudsters are using photographs of legitimate apartments, creating fake accommodation advertisements and requesting deposits or full payments for bookings they are not authorised to offer.
Despite reporting these incidents to the SAPS and cybercrime authorities, these scams continue.
β οΈ PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENTS WITHOUT VERIFYING YOUR BOOKING FIRST!
If you are considering booking accommodation at Perna Perna Umdloti, particularly through Facebook or an unfamiliar agent, we strongly encourage you to contact us directly to verify the legitimacy of the booking and the owner before transferring any money.
CONTACT PERNA PERNA UMDLOTI FOR BOOKING VERIFICATION:
π Call or WhatsApp: 084 50 66 130
π§ Email: [email protected]
Our team will gladly assist you in confirming whether the accommodation and booking details are legitimate.
PLEASE REMEMBER:
* Never assume that a Facebook accommodation advertisement is genuine.
* Verify the owner or authorised booking agent before making payment.
* Be cautious of unusually low prices and requests for urgent deposits.
* Do not rely solely on photographs, WhatsApp conversations or payment details supplied by an advertiser.
* When in doubt, contact Perna Perna directly.
Please share this warning with friends, family and anyone planning a holiday in Umdloti.
We want visitors to enjoy their holidays, not arrive at their destination only to discover that their hard-earned money has been stolen.
A quick verification before payment could save you thousands of rands and prevent a ruined holiday.
