There are several warning signs Australians should watch for:Images look overly perfect or unrealistic: unusually flawless rooms, lighting, views, or amenities can sometimes indicate AI generation or heavy manipulation.Limited variety of images: legitimate properties typically provide multiple photos showing different angles and spaces.Inconsistencies between photos: furniture, room layouts, architectural details, or views that change unexpectedly across images can be a red flag.No independent reviews featuring guest photos: user-generated photos can help verify whether the property matches its marketing materials.Other warning signs that go beyond just visual warning signs are:Pressure to book quickly: urgency is one of the most common scam tactics. Prices that seem unusually low: if the deal appears too good to be true, it's worth taking the time to verify it, because it probably is too good to be true.Advice provided by McAfee
