When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is
added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

Appreciate it!

I just booked a hotel on booking.com and seconds later received a text asking me to download the booking.com app. I became suspicious because I already have the booking.com app downloaded. The link was booking.com/app-(followed by a bunch of numbers/letters). Came from this number 1-919-295-9012 and had my name in the text. To increase urgency it added (this link expires soon). Right this is all you need to know that this is a scam text. Why would downloading an app expire? I don’t know if booking.com or the hotel I booked got hacked but the fact that I received this text right after booking with booking.com tells me that it involves them and they need to fix it.

In reply to IT Company in the Netherlands.

If that’s what is happening, then an attacker gains access to the extranet and compromises logins for some hotels. Then it acts as those hotels without touching their services.
Booking.com would have IP address and access datetime and should be able to aggregate suspicious access to detect and block fraudulent access in real time.
Why not add regional or per-country access limits as well, for instance preventing Russian access to the extranet for German hotels? There is much they can do.
For me and my upcoming bookings, I will use Google Maps to find hotels then book or call via other providers or to the hotel directly.

In reply to IT Company in the Netherlands. They have definitely been hacked. I showed up to my hotel/apartment that I had booked only to be told that we "cancelled" the night before. We told then we had never cancelled and we have already paid via booking.com (not a third party). We rang booking.com, they said the payment made was fraud and they had cancelled our reservation the night before and didn't even tell us.... so if we paid directly via booking.com and it was fraud that means they have been hacked.

A few days ago I checked into a hotel in downtown Dresden, Germany, using my VISA card.
2 hours later I was declined at the ATM. On my online banking account I saw a strange charge at Pizza Hut in US dollars(I hate pizza and never buy there).
I canceled the card and VISA told me that until then there were 14 more attempts to charge my card somewhere in the world (which were declined). Interestingly, even after cancellation, every day someone tries to buy beauty products in Saudi Arabia, some stuff in Egypt or videos in Italy using my canceled card. I’ve been trying to figure out how my data got stolen. Then I realized that I’ve been using booking.com a lot, also for the hotel in Dresden. Thus, I cannot confirm that booking got hacked but it would be consistent with the previous posters.

In reply to LP. I agree. Customer Support did not even try to help me. Afterwards I received another email asking me how satisfied I was with their support.

In reply to IT Company in the Netherlands. We reinstalled windows, reinstalled virus scanner. Created a new booking.com and and changed the password of our email account. But our guest still get messages from the scammers. This means booking.com is hacked.
