iStockPolice have issued a warning for guests with upcoming bookings at an Isle of Barra hotel.
The hotel on the island alerted investigators after several guests reported receiving fraudulent emails requesting bank details to “confirm” their booking.
The emails are sent from an address that is not connected to the hotel.
Police Scotland has warned both accommodation owners and guests to be vigilant of this type of scam.
Those concerned about suspicious emails are urged to contact police on 101 or report it to Advice Direct Scotland on 0808 164 6000.
