That’s crazy, glad you got your money back. Was it a booking which asked you to pay directly by any chance?
I recently had an apartment (in the Netherlands also) request that I pay them directly with a bank transfer before I arrived but it seemed dodge to me so I booked with another
- dheera 3y agoNo, I paid for the (intended) Norway booking via Booking.com in full. I then got a fraud charge a couple days later. I never gave my credit card info directly to the Norway property (not sure if Booking shares it with them?) but I'm more inclined to suspect someone at Booking who had access to their saved credit card database OR superuser access to book some other resort using my saved payment info.
- kotaKat 3y agoBooking.com and other OTAs often will book the reservation with a virtual card that they fax the details over with the reservation (or otherwise communicate the virtual card payment information in the OTA extranet). What could have happened is someone compromised the hotel's side of the extranet and grabbed your (and other) bookings' virtual cards and attempted to start racking charges against them which would then go back on your card you gave for the reservation to Booking. While there's supposed to be fraud controls on the cards, who knows what could have let the extra charges fly.
