The Electronic Crime Squad has solved a serious case of fraud with fake hotel bookings and the crediting of citizens' credit cards through the internet, following an investigation that began from reports by hotel owners in Greece and owners of cards who became victims of the frauds.

The investigation has revealed so far that thousands of people from all over the world have become victims, making advance payments through the internet for bookings in Greece and then ascertaining, when they came for a holiday, that they were cheated.

The amount of the scam has not yet been ascertained, but the Electronic Crime Squad's investigation has revealed that at least four people, who were detected in cooperation with Interpol and Europol, are reportedly the users of the same number of deceptive sites, through which the bookings took place.

The sites that were used are the following:
