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??

I have had some whats app messages today. I’ve messaged my hotels and they not sent anything. Scam by all accounts
I’ve had this, how have they got my name and dates of booking?
Same for me with an Indian hotel booking!
Yes I had yesterday. This is scam
I reached out to booking and they were hacked. Report to Whatsapp and block. The 2 I received both came from India.
Just got one to. Asked local friend about it and contacted original booking company. Both said it was a scam
Maybe not. It is widely used in Vietnam and I communicated with my accommodation the same way. Just phone your accommodation reception and confirm it is them.
I have had a few of these and did not contact them back. Instead I went onto booking.com and advised them and they said it was a scam as booking,com did not contact me and the booking I had made was confirmed. Then went and blocked the o scammers on WhatsApp.
I had the same for on of my booking in Ho Chi Minh, they said wrong hotel, hotel and wrong address. Only thing they had right was the dates. I cancelled my booking and rebooked another hotel
Ring booking.com immediately.
