I booked all my accommodations to Vietnam with Booking but now I’m getting some messages on WhatsApp asking me to confirm my reservation or it will be cancelled. Are they scammers trying to get personal info? I’ve replied to them to contact me via Booking only and I have blocked them. Anybody experienced this issue??

Ignore them. You booked online on booking it and communication should remain like that.
Never click on links but most of my hotels I booked on booking sent me WhatsApp to arrange arrival times and the like x
I had that last year. I responded to them on what’s app. Never had an issue. It’s a lot easier for them to communicate on WhatsApp rather than apps like booking or Airbnb
This happened to me for a booking in London a few weeks ago.
I had the same with Expedia in November. Expedia told me to ignore them as they a scam. I also contacted hotel direct who also confirmed my booking was ok and to ignore WhatsApp.
Many Vietnamese hotels have whatsup me to confirm. Never an issue
It is definitely a scam
I’m getting messages everyday from different numbers, even now in my home language that no Vietnam hotel personnel will know😁 I just keep on reporting and blocking.
I have received two messages in the last few days both from a very different names, both with all my booking details and asking me to click a payment link even though I have already paid in full
I had two different hotels i booked with booking.com for Vietnam whatsapp both from india, hotels said they were scams.
