Showpo CEO Jane Lu reveals she was scammed on Paris work trip days after passport debacle
Just days after an Aussie fashion boss revealed how she was almost refused to board a flight from Sydney to Paris, another 'nightmare' has unfolded. Jane Lu, the owner of online retailer Showpo, recently revealed how water damage on her passport resulted in her almost being barred from flying - and now, she's shared her latest debacle. Ms Lu explained over the weekend that the apartment she'd booked to stay at while in Paris was a 'scam'. In a 'Get Ready With Me' video for TikTok, Ms Lu detailed how she got 'scammed' in an accommodation booking in a trip that she's since dubbed as 'completely cursed'. 'First the airline almost didn't let me on to my Paris flight because my passport had water stains, ' she explained, before pivoting to her colleague Jessica — who joined her on the trip — to provide more detail about the ordeal. Jessica picks up from Ms Lu, and explained that after getting off the 30-hour flight, the pair get to their accommodation to find out 'there's no accommodation'. 'We have been scammed,' Jessica explains. 'It was this Parisian loft. We were super excited. And then when we got there, we tried to get in and got to this one counter where we had to grab the keys … and he's like, this is not a real place … we don't have keys for it.' The accommodation, which was booked through did not exist. 'Three hours later we are finally our new accommodation which was so nice,' Jess added. Ms Wu then chimes in, declaring the trip as 'cursed' once again, before the pair said that more than AU$3500 had been given to scammers as a deposit. At the time of writing, the apartment Ms Lu and her colleague booked was still available on and was described as accommodating eight adults. The listing boasts a 'spacious accommodation' with 'four bedrooms and two bathrooms'. The property also includes a dining area, work desk, and a comfortable seating space. 'Guests can enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, and oven,' the listing reads. 'Additional amenities include a washing machine, hairdryer, free toiletries, and a soundproofed environment' and is located just 22km from Paris Orly Airport. 'The apartment is a 19-minute walk from Parc des Princes, while other nearby attractions include the Eiffel Tower (3km), Arc de Triomphe (5km), and an ice-skating rink.' In a statement sent to a spokesperson for said they were investigating the incident and working through a full refund with Ms Lu. 'Our top priority at is to facilitate safe and enjoyable travel experiences for our customers and partners,' the statement read. 'We're sorry to hear about this guest's experience and we are following up to support their refund. 'Should travellers need support, our customer service is available for them 24/7 and in 45 languages. Travellers can simply select the booking they have a question about in their account and choose how they want to reach out, for instance via phone or message. 'We are constantly optimising the robust security measures we have in place to protect our customers and partners, and take the process of verifying accommodation listings extremely seriously. In the very rare instance that there might be some cause for doubt or concern with a specific property we investigate immediately, and where needed close the listing.' In an interview with the ABC in 2023, Queensland University of Technology Professor Cassandra Cross said scams related to accommodation were successful for offenders because booking online was commonplace. 'We are all expected to be on these platforms booking and putting in our credit card and personal information,' she said. 'That is what offenders know that we do and that is why they are popular and really quite effective.' Dr Cross added that the challenge for big accommodation platforms was the increasing number of listings. 'There is nothing to stop an offender creating listings or copying listings onto other sites, and that is what makes this a difficult and challenging scam sometimes to identify,' she said. 'The ability for offenders to replicate and create these fraudulent posts far outweighs the ability of platforms to remove them.' In 2023, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) Scamwatch program received 363 reports of scams mentioning with losses of over $337,000, according to the publication. This was an almost 600 per cent increase on 2022, during which only 53 reported scams referenced

Aussie traveller books dream hotel in Paris... only to arrive and find out it NEVER existed: 'We are in disbelief'
The boss of an Australian fashion empire has told of the moment she tried to check into what she thought was a stunning apartment in Paris - only to discover the property never existed. Showpo CEO Jane Lu and her team booked what they thought was a dream Parisian four-bedroom apartment, just minutes from the iconic Eiffel Tower. After a long-haul flight from Sydney to France, the group was shell-shocked when they learned the accommodation they had been promised wasn't actually available. In fact, when they tried to check in at the reception desk, an employee claimed the luxury apartment they had booked was 'not a real place'. It suddenly dawned on them that they'd been duped by a fake listing on - after putting down a €2000 ($A3,570) deposit to secure the property. 'We got scammed. This work trip is completely cursed,' Jane said in disbelief. One of her colleagues Jess explained that the group had arrived at the accommodation after a 30-hour flight - only to be told they had nowhere to stay. 'We were super excited... When we got to our accommodation, we were trying to check in and we went to this one counter where you grab the keys and the receptionist is like, 'This is not a real place, I have no keys for it',' Jess explained. According to the listing, which is still available via the spacious unit offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen 'Side note, we've given €2000 ($A3,570) to the scammer as well as a deposit. So that's something we're gonna have to deal with at the end of this trip,' Jess said. According to the listing, which is still available via the spacious unit offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Under its 'house rules', guests are automatically charged a €2,000 ($A3,570) damage deposit seven days before arrival. The listing claims guests will be reimbursed within a week of check-out. 'We're sorry to hear about this guest's experience and we are following up to support their refund,' a spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia. 'Our top priority at is to facilitate safe and enjoyable travel experiences for our customers and partners. 'Should travellers need support, our customer service is available for them 24/7 and in 45 languages. Travellers can simply select the booking they have a question about in their account and choose how they want to reach out, for instance via phone or message.' Every accommodation on go through a strict verification process to prevent customers from falling for potentially fraudulent listings. 'We are constantly optimising the robust security measures we have in place to protect our customers and partners, and take the process of verifying accommodation listings extremely seriously,' the spokeswoman said. 'In the very rare instance that there might be some cause for doubt or concern with a specific property we investigate immediately, and where needed close the listing.' Jane and her colleagues had planned to use the space to shoot content for Showpo's homecoming fashion campaign. But things didn't go to plan, as the panicked girls spent the next three hours trying to find a new place to stay. 'We found an Italian restaurant to sit out for three hours trying to sort out with how we're going to deal with this all,' Jess explained. 'But all three of us have Australian numbers so in France, we can't call anyone... All of the numbers go to a French customer representative. 'I'm calling everyone, anyone that's awake, and this is literally the last thing we want to do after a 30-hour flight.' After hours of searching, the group finally checked into a new place to stay. 'It's so nice,' Jess said. Despite falling for the fake accommodation listing, Jane was just grateful to be in Paris - especially after her trip hadn't started off on the right foot. Jane said the work trip had been nothing short of a nightmare - after she nearly missed her flight from Sydney to Paris due to water damage on her passport. She was trying to check in at the airport when she was warned she might not be allowed into Paris because of water damage on her passport. 'I'm at the airport and they're telling me that I can't get onto my flight to Paris because my passport has water damage,' she said. Jane said she was eventually allowed to board the plane, but she had to sign a waiver to 'say that if Paris turns me away, I'll just have to come back'. 'So I signed it, but now I've got this 24 to 28 hour flight journey, and I still might get turned back,' she said. 'So hopefully the French are chill. It's a really long flight to get turned away but I got to try it, right?' She was heading to Paris for a work trip and had all the gear for the photoshoot with her, so if she didn't make it through customs, the campaign wouldn't happen. Jane appeared visibly nervous as she waited to disembark after her plane landed in Paris. 'This is the moment of truth: let's see if I get in or not,' she said. 'Maybe they'll be super chill, or maybe I'm going straight back to Sydney.' Thankfully, she managed to make her way through customs without a problem... until she discovered the apartment she had reserved through didn't exist.

‘Help': Aussie fashion CEO Jane Lu in turmoil over passport detail
Aussie fashion boss Jane Lu has issued a warning to fellow travellers after a tiny passport detail put her entire Europe trip on the line. In a four-part series of clips posted to social media, the Showpo CEO looked anxious as she grasped her chest in front of the service desk at Sydney's International Airport. 'I'm here with all my luggage and I cannot get onto my Paris flight,' she begins. 'I'm at the airport and they're telling me that I can't get onto my flight to Paris because my passport has water damage.' She then pans to a quickly depleting line as the rest of the flight boards while she stands nearby while revealing her work campaign trip may be in real jeopardy. In the next part of the gripping adventure, the business owner reveals she successfully made it through but was made to sign a waiver. 'I just got through, so she said that I have to sign a waiver to say that if Paris turns me away I'll just have to come back 'So I signed it but I still might get turned back. Hopefully the French are chill 'It's a really long flight to get turned away but I have to try,' she added. After waiting an entire day for the update – it finally came. 'We've just touched down in Paris and this is the moment of truth,' she says from the cosy business class pods. 'Oh my god, oh my god, it worked!' she declares. It's a tale as old as time, but not everyone has been so fortunate Just last year, a tiny mark on one woman's passport kept her from boarding a flight to a much-anticipated holiday in Bali. Sean Ferres and his partner Brooke were headed to the popular holiday destination when she was stopped because of a 'microscopic coffee stain' on her passport. 'Virgin Australia decided that this microscopic coffee stain on Brooke's passport made it 'unreadable' and denied us boarding our flight to Bali,' they said on social media. Another woman was left in tears after being turned away from her flight just hours prior to boarding. Sydney woman Elyse Elmer said that after arriving at the airport ahead of her flight to Bali, she was denied entry due to a small tear in the spine of her passport. 'That is literally … all it took for them to totally refuse entry,' she said of the relatively small tear. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) website states that 'even minor passport damage can stop you from travelling.' 'Damage that might require you to replace your passport includes water damage, unofficial markings on the data page, missing visa pages or tears,' it stated. As of 1 January 2025, the going rate for an adult passport is $412. If you're after a fast-track passport (5-day processing), you're looking at an extra $104 on top of that. And last but not least, if you need priority (2-day processing), that's an additional $300 on top of your original fee. Affordable!
