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??

Has been normal for me from a few of them 🙂
The a lot of scam messages going around. I have been warned by the hotel. Do not click on the link!
Ignore them. You booked online on booking it and communication should remain like that.
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.
Example of message, Number from India
Many Vietnamese hotels have whatsup me to confirm. Never an issue
As a Booking host, I understand your concern.
Yes, it’s common for them to use WhatsApp for communications.
I got one too but the number is from India and the dates don’t match so I didn’t even reply
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.
