Is this travel booking, vacation offer, or hotel payment request real?

1. Contact the airline or hotel using its official website or an independently verified number.
2. Check the reservation details and cancellation terms in your own account. Messages inside a booking platform can still be suspicious.
3. Do not follow unexpected requests for card verification, off-platform transfers, or remote access. Save the messages.

The sender threatens immediate cancellation, changes payment instructions, or cannot confirm the reservation independently.
