Is visareservation.com scam?
Schengen Visa rule makers suggest applicants to reserve flights instead of actually buying tickets. They also suggest applicants to use https://visareservation.com/ as you can read here https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/flight-itinerary-visa-application/#reserve-flight-ticket-without-payment
I did some research and some people consider visareservation a scam: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/comments/bjbaf7/unable_to_get_schengen_visa_appointment_before/em74s5j/
Is it a scam?
I was hoping to use it for my flight and hotel reservations since the official website recommends it.

"schengenvisainfo.com" is not the "rule makers", instead it is a site with resources for reserving/buying tickets and useful links. Neither it is an official government site nor a ticket buying platform.
As you said, they linking applicants to use the "visareservation.com" website was more likely a advertisement or a referral link by "schengenvisainfo.com" or a link that was added for general usage not "suggesting" (at least from a authority standpoint).
The official web page for the Schengen Area is this. Notice this message at the left-above corner of the webpage:
It ends with europa.eu not .com or .info.
www.schengenvisainfo.com has advertisements and links to other sites and is a more resources and blog website rather than a official "rule-maker" website. be cautionary when using these types of sites.
