DUPED! Woman books 'sea view' room. The view sure had a sea, but not quite.

In a hilarious turn of events, an Argentinian influencer, who recently went on a trip to Italy and booked a sea-facing room on B&B, was allegedly scammed with a poster of the sea.

The woman, who paid a fortune for an idyllic “seaside” hotel room in Italy was stupefied and discovered that she had been duped.

While booking the hotel room, the influencer got carried away by an online advertisement showing the spectacular views it had to offer and paid through the nose for the promised “holiday of a lifetime” experience across Europe.

However, when the content creator checked in, she discovered that the so-called ocean vista was actually just a poster of the sea on the building on the other side of the road.

The woman shared the video on social media platforms, opening up about the bluff she experienced during her stay.

“I feel scammed, guys,” the victim, Clarisa Murgia, captioned the now-viral clip, which boasts more than 3.1 million views on TikTok.

In the POV clip, titled “Expectation vs Reality” in Spanish, Murgia shows how, at first, the view does look quite real, However, when the camera pans closer, it becomes clear that the image is a poster, used to spruce up a narrow alley.

“No one has ever deceived me like this before, hahaha,” she declared in the clip.

Almost 2000 users left comments on the video, many expressing disappointment on behalf of Murgia and others making jokes.

TikTok commenters were amused by Murgia’s vacation catfishing, with one writing, “I am sorry, but this is hilarious.”

“I believed it for a moment,” confessed another.

“Not even my ex lied that much,” a user joked, while another said, “My luck in life is summarised in this video.”

One person pointed out that the ad was technically true as she did get an ocean view, it just wasn’t in the way she intended.

Notably, this is not a one-off incident. Earlier, a tourist had a strange experience after unexpectedly discovering a window view of a restaurant, where diners enjoyed their meals less than a foot away on the other side of the glass, as opposed to the promised gorgeous views of the city skyline in advertisement.
