[QUOTE="KariannNor, post: 1226647, member: 108082"] I have read a lot about this today in various media (European) and from Booking.com itself. After all, they themselves have warned that fraud is taking place, so that you should not respond to inquiries from them. It is obvious that the "newest" scam takes place on the page and the app itself, so not just those who have received emails as in the last two weeks. I have therefore called the bank again this evening. I asked if it is wise now not to use this site at all now. The answer I got said "without saying" that hopefully there will be a solution/reveal eventually, and of course pointed out that it is not Booking.com that is the "culprit", but that this will take some time (implied: do not use the site right now). When I have thought about this, it seems obvious that this very site is a "golden target". When I shop online, I NEVER provide card information, I always ask for an invoice to be sent by mail, which I can pay after receiving the product. But, when making a reservation on this, the seller needs a guarantee that the service will be charged to the right person, which is why I have been (so stupid) and provided card/personal information. This makes you an easy target. So, for my part, I think, it's such an incredibly brilliant site to book in, such a clear and straightforward app, so - when the time comes that I'm in Spain, I can use it a day or two before (as I did last), and pay immediately. So write down the amounts, and follow up - if it is withdrawn several times from the same place, contact the bank and block the card. But, I'm not touching that site until the bank confirms it's safe again. You ask how widespread, use google and see how many apply where you are. [/QUOTE]
