   They are scammers. One of the places warned me about this in advance so now I am blocking them all. I’m not sure how they have the information because they have my full name and the correct dates and the location that I’m staying, but I have never experienced this, and I use Booking constantly another countries.

   Everybody usually does their business over WhatsApp as it is free and with so many foreigners it is easier. You need WhatsApp to make your life easier. Embrace it and I have not found any scammers in 7 years. I’m Canadian.

   It’s not a scam. Most hotel rooms are owned my individual that rent the rooms out the person that message is most likely the owner of one of the rooms there. They should never ask for money or bank details through what’s app. Only payment on arrival. It’s perfectly normal here
