Is it from you?" --- [FAQ](https://hostalsolzamora.com/en/faq) # I received a message asking me to verify or pay for my booking via a link. Is it from you? No. There's a wave of fake messages, mostly on WhatsApp, pretending to come from accommodation providers and booking platforms. They say you must verify your booking or pay urgently through a link, or that the room will be released if you don't do so within 24 hours. It's a scam: don't tap the link or enter your card details. We will never ask you for a payment on WhatsApp, and your booking will never be cancelled for not making an urgent payment. The only payment we might ask you for is made exclusively through guest.chekin.com. If you receive one of these messages, send us a screenshot showing the number and the text by WhatsApp to +34 639 980 253 or by email to hostalsol@outlook.com, and also report it to Booking.com if you booked there.
