That happened to me. I book rooms all the time but I always make sure that it is a secured site like wotif. Contact the guy that sent you the email...or phone him. I am sure it will be ok

CONSUMER AFFAIRS my friend ... first call him and tell him this, and if he doesn't rectify his problem, call consumers ;)

maybe if you are lucky it could have just been a simple mistake in the email.
i would ring the company as so as possible, even try tonight, they may have a machine you can leave a message on or if they are a large resort they might have a night person.

Always use a credit card, if it was a scam, then you can dispute the transaction.
