    I've just been scammed by the Russian Army who had all of my details from booking.com.
    Not sure if this is some elaborate windup but that's a pretty extraordinary claim - what has led you to believe they're involved in whatever scam you're referring to?

    Seriously - THAT'S how you respond—passive-aggressive much. 

    The Russian Army -- a great bunch of lads. !!!!!!.

    They sent me messages saying:

    Thank you for your support!
    You support Russian army!
    It's scam, you are support Russian army
    Moscow Moscow


    Turns out Booking.com have been a target for a while.

    I think it's pretty clear that although you've been scammed, you haven't been scammed by the Russian army.

    How did the scammers get your login details?  Have you changed all your passwords on all your other accounts?  If not, do so immediately.  If your booking.com details have been compromised, there's a chance your other accounts are at risk.
