Eighteen tourists were scammed by a woman posing as a travel agent, losing a total of 165,000 lei. They paid for vacations in Turkey and Egypt but found no reservations upon arrival. Many learned just a day before departure that their trips were canceled. The woman continued to sell travel packages despite being illegal since September last year. Authorities have identified her and are investigating the fraud, while victims have filed complaints. Experts advise travelers to carefully choose agencies and verify reviews to avoid scams.
