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.

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??

    Yes – I got a couple and blocked them. However – the hotel does send a what’s app message to ask about your arrival time a day or two ahead but do not give any payment info thru what’s app

    I got one two days ago. Never never ever give your info out!!! If you go back and read your confirmation from booking scroll towards the bottom. They actually warn us about this! I never bothered reading it before. Scam spread the word!!! And the link they send doesn’t say booking. They hope we won’t notice that either!

    I also received a whatsapp from a hotel in ninh binh, asking me to click on a link to confirm my booking. That’s got scam written all over it.
