So my wife gets a What’s App message supposedly from the hotel we’re booked at in London next week. Message says booking is not confirmed and will be cancelled in 24 hours if not confirmed. Has a link for payment. Luckily we’re both savvy enough to know hotels aren’t sending What’s App messages requesting payment. We did contact the hotel to inform them of the scam and my wife tried to report to booking.com, but couldn’t find an easy way to do it. I do wonder though how many people this scam has caused to actually make a payment and what happened once the scammers had their credit card info.
