Purple Royal Hotel

Victim Location 10026

Total money lost $560

Type of a scam Travel/Vacations

This is a scheme that purports to organize a seminar on "The Impact of Gender Discrimination on Economic Growth." Then solicits people interested in attending the seminar to book a hotel room at the Purple Royal Hotel. It then asks for and collects the full fee for the hotel booking promising full refund upon cancellation with 48 hours.

The whole thing is a scam – no hotel exists, no seminar is being organized. The scheme is designed to target overseas experts and scholars interested in this field.
