United States v. Liviu Mihai Dumitru and Mihai Daniel Dan, 5:23-cr-00106

From at least January 2016 until at least September 21, 2023, the defendants and their co-conspirators created and used an online platform to facilitate the commission of vacation rental fraud.  Victims who responded to ads to rent vacation homes on legitimate vacation rental websites were redirected to spoofed vacation rental websites controlled by perpetrators intending to lure victims into sending money for vacation rentals that either did not exist or the perpetrators did not own or have the right to rent.
