Scam Prevention Guide

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Posting this to warn others planning a visit to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London (Harry Potter experience). The fake site is extremely well made. It uses the official Warner Bros. and Studio Tour logos, lists real upcoming 2026 events (Magical Mischief, Summer Feature, Dark Arts, Hogwarts in the Snow), has a full navigation menu available in multiple languages, and even links to real Trip. Advisor reviews. It is almost impossible to spot unless you carefully check the domain name. The real official booking site is: [book. wbstudiotour. com](http://book. wbstudiotour. com) I fell for it and made a payment through this fraudulent site. The amount charged was close to a legitimate [Booking. com](http://Booking. com) reservation I had made previously, which made the transaction seem less suspicious at first. \*\*What I've done so far:\*\* \- Blocked my payment card immediately \- Contacted [Booking. com](http://Booking. com) (they opened a case with bank transaction screenshots) \- Reported the site to fraud authorities \- Contacted Warner Bros. Studio Tour officially Unfortunately my bank says the payment cannot be reversed since I validated it myself (3D Secure). [Booking. com](http://Booking. com) is investigating but no refund confirmed yet. \*\*If you're planning to visit the Studio Tour, please double-check the URL before entering any payment details.\*\* The only legitimate booking platform is book. wbstudiotour. com. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation and managed to get their money back? Any advice welcome. Stay safe. https://preview. redd. it/biyrf06wzktg1. png?width=2551&format=png&auto=webp&s=b576641a6d5ffc66f6300cf7e80dcedbb415f047
