Yesterday

but I haven't traveled internationally since before COVID.
I get all kinds of scams regularly that go straight to my spam email. Very identifiable. As I said , though, this came through the messaging system of Booking com and when I accessed my account through their website--not a link-- the messages show up. It all looked very above board.

Got another set of the messages overnight -- even AFTER contacting Booking.com to advise them of the details of the scam.
