Travel scams strike when you have already paid and are anxious not to lose a booking.
Reconfirm your booking

Step by step
How to check a message that claims to be from Booking.com
- 1
Look at the actual sender address, not just the name. Tap or hover over the name to reveal it. It must end in @booking.com, or a subdomain of one.
- 2
Do not use links or phone numbers from the message. Type booking.com into your browser or open the official Booking.com app, and check your account there.
- 3
Slow down when you see urgency, small fees, gift cards, crypto, or requests for codes and passwords. Those are the levers every scam pulls.
