1 min read
Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert said:
“Which? has repeatedly sounded the alarm about the lack of robust safeguards on Booking.com and the sheer scale of scams reported on the site. We've even presented evidence of fraud issues to Ofcom before, and asked it to investigate whether the platform was doing enough to comply with the Online Safety Act.
"It comes as no surprise that criminals are yet again taking advantage of the Booking.com platform to target its customers.
“If you are a Booking.com customer, change your password and be vigilant with any correspondence coming in from people purporting to be from booking.com or accommodation providers."
