As Ibiza gears up for another lively tourist season, there is a growing need for caution among travellers planning to rent properties. Reports from the island indicate that rental scams are rampant, especially when the season is in full swing. The President of the Association of Real Estate Agents in Ibiza and Formentera, Ricardo Sánchez, has highlighted the surge in fraudulent rental activities, urging tourists to engage only with verified real estate professionals with physical offices on the island. To avoid becoming a victim, tourists are advised to always visit the property before making any financial commitments and to avoid sending money to foreign bank accounts. These scams often target those desperate to secure accommodation, exploiting their urgency by vanishing after deposits are made without formal agreements. A notable incident involved a young woman who shared her experience of losing €1,000 to a fake listing. Authorities continue to stress the importance of due diligence, recommending comprehensive checks online to verify the legitimacy of rental listings. Travellers are urged to stay safe and ensure all rental agreements are backed by concrete documentation.
