SCAM - Syndicate

My hotel has been Scammed by a syndicate.

They have managed to open a Booking.com account with a similar name with the same address and room numbers.

They take bookings, the guest receive a confirmation from Booking.com, scammer ask the guest for email address via Booking.com messaging service and forward invoice to guest and request a transfer money to an overseas account for accommodation.  

Most of the bookings will be double bookings at my REAL hotel.

Who at booking.com can help as a matter of urgency? I need information please.

Hi Chris, this is a very bad situation you are facing...and thanks for sharing your awful experience...

As Barry very well suggested you have to inform booking.com immediately.

Please give us feedback if you can.

In a world increasingly driven by technology, the realm of online transactions has its pitfalls. Many have fallen victim to scams, losing hard-earned money and, worse, trust. If you've been touched by this unfortunate reality, know that you're not alone.

Staying safe begins with awareness. Be cautious of promises that sound too good to be true. Research before you invest, and be wary of anyone asking for payments upfront. Remember, reputable companies don't demand money to release your funds.

If you've already lost money to a scam, there's hope. Specialists like Finclaimback exist to help recover your funds and offer guidance. Your financial security matters, and it's never too late to seek assistance.

Don't let scams define your financial journey. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and remember that support is here when you need it.
