Samantha Cook and Ryan Swain were excited for a stargazing break in North Yorkshire, only to discover upon arrival that they had been victims of an elaborate scam. Having booked a deal online, they arrived to find an empty field instead of the promised dome accommodations. The scam, which has affected numerous individuals, has been traced back to a fraudulent website using stolen images from a legitimate Airbnb in Australia. Local authorities are urging victims to report such scams to prevent further losses.
