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??

    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!

    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.

    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

    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
