Then he swiped his card to pay, and then found that the credit card was stolen for more than 10,000 yuan, and the process aroused public discussion.
haveEnthusiastic Netizens Measured, choose Hotel Granvia Osaka-JR Hotel Group, which shows “no credit card/local payment” on the reservation website, and 10 minutes after making the reservation, I receive a message from the hotel customer service account through the reservation website, requesting He paid in advance and provided payment methods other than the reservation network. He speculated that “the Booking account held by the hotel was stolen”, and he asked everyone to be careful “not to be led to pay in private transactions.”

The hotel suddenly drops prices or upgrades on the reservation website, and delivers food; 2. There are no rooms on the official website of the hotel on the same date, but there are a large number of vacancies on the reservation website;At the same time, it should also be noted that since the other reservation network Agoda and Booking belong to the same group, it is not ruled out that the same fraudulent methods will also appear.

Some people also shared their experience, “My friend booked accommodation in Taiwan and encountered hackers who changed the amount to a lower amount to attract others to order and then spread fraudulent information. Since it was in China, the friend directly called the hotel to inquire. Misappropriation”, “I also encountered it a few months ago, but it was a letter that looked like booking and asked for payment. It was strange to write to the hotel to find out that it was fake”, “I had previously paid in full for the order. Received another letter yesterday! I am now asking Agoda customer service and waiting for a response.”
Some people suggested that they could send another letter to the hotel to confirm that the order was correct. Netizens who actually tested it also said that they had notified the hotel, and the reservation network has closed the reservation of this hotel.
