Heads up, travelers! ⚠️✈️Recently, there’s been a common scam going around that seems linked to leaked data from booking platforms. Some people have received WhatsApp messages about their reservations with Booking(.)com (like in the photo).Please remember: Booking(.)com, Agoda, Hotels(.)com, Airbnb, and other legit platforms will NEVER contact you via WhatsApp. They only communicate through:✅ Their official app or website✅ Verified email addresses linked to your accountIf you get a WhatsApp message claiming to be from Booking(.)com (or any booking platform), don’t click any links and don’t share your personal details. It’s very likely a scam.Stay alert, double-check everything, and protect your information.Safe travels everyone! 🌍💛

I received a few messages but was aware of the scam luckily. Deleted and blocked the senders and advised the property and Booking with screen shots in case they wanted to do something about it!
I had 2 WhatsApp messages from different Indian numbers claiming to be the hotel that I’d booked in the Philippines through Trip com
yes i had the same for a Auckland booking back in june

I received her/his msg last night 😃 LOL
Since booking our hotel and flights, I’ve had numerous WhatsApp messages phishing for info and clicks but not necessarily relating to our 🇻🇳 bookings.
I got it two days ago, and we are booked through expedia, had my name and booking for one of the stays, she was pretty persistent that I pay, until I said I am contacting expedia….for a first time traveler to vietnam I was a little shocked, almost believed it!! Scary!!
