EMAIL REQUESTING PERSONAL & BUSINESS IDENTITY FOR COMPLIANCE?

Hi All,

I have received an email this morning which I feel is SPAM, it's requesting I click a "verify account" button to "confirm my personal and business identity" but it is headed "Dear partner", lower case 'p' and is not personalised to myself. Anyone else had this? Is it spam? There's nothing on my Extranet asking for any information. I'm in the UK.

Update - I have contacted B.com through the Extranet to check with them.

Dear Mick,

That is a legitimate e-mail.

You can always verify the sender information. @booking.com e-mails are legitimate and you need to do that verification.

Best regards,

How can Booking be contacted to know what it is about?

Hi there herd,

I'm one of the sheep that also received a verification email. It came directly from Booking.com as I know the email address. When I went on it it took me to the extranet. So I was quite comfortable.

Just remember that you can always, at any time, phone a friend and verify directly with Booking.com. They have logs of every correspondence sent to you.

Keep well!
