HOTEL SCAM

Anyone with some sense would not give personal info on the phone, but

could still get caught by this one.

PLEASE PASS ALONG TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Hotel/Motel Scam (This one is so simple it is shocking)

You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in,

you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your

room). You get to your room and settle in.

Someone calls the front desk and asks (for example) Room 620 - which

happens to be your room. The phone rings in your room. ?You answer and the

person on the other end says the following:

'This is the front desk. When checking in, we came across a problem with

your charge card information. Please re-read your credit card number and

verify the last 3 digits on the reverse side of your charge card.'

Not thinking anything, you might give this person this information, since

the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it is a scam of

someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk.

They ask for a random room number. Then, ask you for credit card

information and address information. They sound so professional, that you

give it to them, thinking you are talking to the front desk.

If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation, tell the caller that

you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems.

Then, go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem.

If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to

scam you of your credit card information, acting like a front desk employee.

This was sent by someone who has been duped and is still cleaning up the

mess.

P.S. Please, consider spreading the word by forwarding this e-mail.

Who knows, you might just help someone avoid a nasty experience.

ANYONE traveling should be aware of this.

Well guys, I guess Spain is not to be. The call backs are tomorrow and I have yet to receive an email so bye-bye to that job! Oh well, it has certainly made me consider Spain as a possible holiday spot though. We are planning the next trip to be Hawaii again with the kids, maybe I can persuade my family (hubby actually) to think outside of the box??? Probably not! Thanks again for all your support everyone, it is so nice to have my own cheering section right here on the Qthread-have a great afternoon!
