Booking.com host scam - I lost $3,100, Booking customer service literally told me the wire was fine before I sent it
Attention, Booking.com users! I want to share my cautionary tale about a booking scam that cost me over $3,100. After booking a Paris apartment, the “host” requested a wire transfer, claiming it was part of their policy. I confirmed with Booking customer service, who assured me it was legitimate. Unfortunately, the booking was canceled just hours after the transfer cleared, and Booking later admitted the property was no longer listed. If a host asks for a wire transfer, stop! Protect yourself from this risky situation.
