not only a scam, but fraud, as Agoda says:

"Please be informed that you will be billed based on your credit card provider currency and country."

Still waiting for an answer. Looked at my pending transactions at my debit card and nothing has been charge or authorized.
I like to think that it was a technical issue, cause when I got out of the transaction and went to back to the hotel info the price had gone back to $40.00 for the lowest class room. I had good service from them few times before and like to stay with them. If not, Expedia is very comparable to Agoda.
Just another option
