Tourists duped into booking fake stays at 10 Downing Street on Booking.com

Consumer group Which? has exposed significant security flaws on Booking.com after successfully listing 10 Downing Street as a holiday let. The fake advertisement remained active for several months, allowing tourists to be duped into booking stays at the Prime Minister's residence. The listing was created within minutes and included a fraudulent review praising the experience and mentioning Larry The Cat. Which? warns that poor safeguards leave travellers highly vulnerable to scams on the travel platform.
