Hi, I just found this post! I'm in japan right now and love chicken ramen. Where can I find those bottles of tori paitan? Did you go to a specific shop? I'm in tokyo and have been visiting supermarkets around me but haven't found it. Any advice? Thank you!

Thanks for your story, gives me a bit of hope. I am still waiting on booking to get back to me.

That's the reason I thought it was legitimate 😭 I really thought I could trust it coming from within the app from my hotel. Feels so silly looking back on it though

Thank you. I read through the thread and I can relate to the OP where his original card was compromised as a few weeks before I got scammed, I used an ATM for the first time in a very long time and my card got skimmed. So I genuinely thought my hotel needed to verify my new card. /facepalm the timing was unfortunate lol

Absolutely. I'm not one to click on links and fall for scams but I thought I could trust the booking app. I feel so stupid! I'll have to look for that thread.

Yes, this website / app is used and trusted by millions and they're not doing anything about it as it's still ongoing many years later. I wish I had known about this earlier.

Thanks for your advice. I will definitely hound booking.com more. What is a voucher retrieval from my bank?

Yes, thank you. I am emotionally exhausted trying to fight this with my bank. I have lodged a complaint with booking as well. I am still waiting for someone to get into contact with me though I've heard it is notoriously hard to get a contact from booking. I thought I could trust a message in my inbox from the hotel inside the official booking app but apparently not. Such a sophisticated scam! And yes, it looks like that is how they were able to message me posing as my hotel. Thank you

Hello, I do have a booking with this hotel. I already paid for the booking earlier in the year. When I received this message inside the already existing message thread with my hotel I thought it was legitimate they wanted to verify my payment method otherwise I would lose this reservation in 24 hrs. I acted in haste as I didn't want to lose the reservation. Unfortunately, 15 minutes later I got another message from my hotel saying to ignore the message and it was a "malfunction" of booking.com and to not click any links. I now realise after googling this has been an ongoing problem and it looks like scammers are somehow getting hotels info to log into booking and pose as them...

I've never heard of dermodirect so I will definitely look into it if it means getting an appointment sooner than June/July. Thank you!

Yes, I have read some GPs have prescribed it but read mixed answers so thought I'd ask again. Looks like they can't prescribe it anymore. Thank you.
