Fraudulent bookings

[Tatiana55]

Hello, 

I have had a few frandulent booking requests lately (always what looks like last minute booking enquiries) and because I have had to decline, I am wondering whether this is affecting my ranking when guests search the website?...

Thanks

Are they inquiries or actual Reservation Requests?  It has been said that if you decline Reservations Requests regularly it can impact your placement in searches.
