Awareness for those traveling internationally!

I booked a hotel in Sapa last April on bookingcom for our Vietnam trip this December without any prepayment (pay at property) but a card was still needed to have it formally reserved lang.

Then the other day lang I got this message on whatsapp which was an obvious scam (the contact name and link attached are a dead giveaway) but I know there'd still be people who might fall for this din since medyo convincing nga naman sa iba na alam nila yung reservation details mo. Could be an inside joh or their system was breached.

Ayun, lagpas 24hrs na may reservation parin naman ako.

Anyway, always remember na when booking thru a third party app, all concerns or transactions related to your reservation should only be handled within the app and never outside the platform.

Do NOT click any link or engage in anyway. If you want to be reassured, message the property via bookingcom and confitm with them.

Not sure if tama flair ko but this is an awareness lang just in case may nakaranas din ng ganito.

Then the other day lang I got this message on whatsapp which was an obvious scam (the contact name and link attached are a dead giveaway) hahaha but there are people who might fall for this din kasi alam yung details ng booking eh which is the iffy part. Either an inside job or their system was breached.
