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??

The a lot of scam messages going around. I have been warned by the hotel. Do not click on the link!
Me! I contacted the accomodation via Booking and they said it is a scam. Delete it and don’t click on links. Booking doesn’t pass on phone numbers so unless you exchanged it yourself (via Booking) it is not your accomodation!
Scam…but boy is it difficult to contact some of these hotels even via Booking…site
what about if im an indian & it comes frm an indian number rather than vietnam number?
I booked busses and tours and they message through WhatsApp to confirm and arrange
I booked accommodation in hanoi and got a whats app message to click on link to confirm reservation. Booked via agoda, i cross checked with hotel on their whats app number, turns out it was a scam. So please don’t give any info or click on any link unless you are sure its legit.
It’s normal the homestay they contact by WhatsApp just to confirm if you arrive or not because booking policy there is no advance payment. By the way if you are often check booking sms then it’s best way to communicate on booking
Yes. Tonight. Is it a scam?.How do they have my dates?
Got one last night had all the details of my booking in Da Nang dates etc. but not the reference number threatening cancellation if I didn’t confirm with them I told them to go ahead and cancel. Checked with the residence via the booking site..total scam but how/ where are they getting the basic data?
Has been normal for me from a few of them 🙂
