Hotels hit by email scam – booking.com

A number of hotels in Europe have fallen victim to an email scam which captures commissions paid to Booking.com.

The email scammers use a tried a tested method of creating a branded page to lure the recipients to send their monthly fees to the Priceline-owned Booking.com.

Booking.com says the “incidences appear to be limited”, but Tnooz has learned the scam has been in operation for at least ten days and representatives of the company are saying privately to hoteliers that it could have impacted a large number of properties.
