Travelers who book these resorts often arrive to find the facilities closed or are asked to pay unexpected extra fees. Tip: Verify the resort’s physical address and contact the establishment directly before making any payment.
- Fake business scam. The Antipolo mayor warned the public about fake businesses operating under false names, especially targeting tourists. These entities may sell counterfeit goods or request payment for services that are never provided. Tip: Ask for official business registration, request receipts, and use traceable payment methods.
