Scams like these

[Brissy1]

Couple of days ago, google searched something and selected a result, a legit site and started to read from it, then this appeared. And yes I know that on one of my google account my free storage is almost full and I get upgraded storage suggestions from Google.
But the obvious flag here was the "urgency" with that timer actually counting down. Screenshoted to share.

haven't used wottsapp much, prefer email, but I got this the other day, yes we do have a genuine booking at this hotel, however the phone number attached is from a Clinic in Ecuador...... Similar to the booking.com ones, although I booked directly with the hotel.

Obviously I removed some of the info.

I received one of these a few days ago for a booking that I had previously cancelled, so obviously not genuine.

It was made with Agoda, so it may well be that their website has been hacked.
