A Booking.com user has revealed how she nearly fell for a sophisticated scam after her details were leaked. AdvertisementBooking.com contacted customers to warn them of the data breach but Ms King didn’t pay much attention to the email at the time. “It was basically just to verify my details,” Ms King recalled on The Claire Byrne Show. A few weeks later Ms King got an email that claimed to be from her accommodation provider, which also looked “perfect”. “It turned out the whole thing was a scam,” Ms King said.
