NEW HOTEL SCAM
This is one of the smartest scams I have heard about.
You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. Typically when checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for any charges to your room) and they don’t retain the card.
You go to your room and settle in. All is good.
The hotel receives a call and the caller asks for (as an 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 me your credit card numbers and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card.’*
Not thinking anything wrong, since the call seems to come from the front desk you oblige. But actually, *it is a scam by someone calling from outside the hotel*. They have asked for a *random room number*, then *ask you for your credit card and address information.*
*They sound so professional, that you think you are talking to the front desk.*
If you ever encounter this scenario on your travels, *tell the caller that you will be down to the front desk to clear up any problems.*
Then, *go to the front desk or call directly and ask if there was a problem.*
If there was none, *inform the manager of the hotel that someone tried 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 msg.
Who knows, you might just help someone avoid a nasty experience.
*All traveling often should be aware of this one!*
新的酒店骗局
这是我听说过的最聪明的骗局之一。
您到达酒店并在前台办理入住手续。通常在办理入住手续时，您会向前台提供您的信用卡（用于支付您房间的任何费用），他们不会保留信用卡。
你去你的房间安顿下来。一切都很好。
酒店接到一个电话，来电者要求（例如）* 620 号房间* – 这恰好是您的房间。
你房间里的电话响了。你回答，另一端的人说：
‘这里是前台。在办理入住手续时，我们发现您的信用卡信息存在问题。
请重新读取您的信用卡号码并验证您信用卡背面的最后 3 位数字。’
没有想到任何错误，因为电话似乎来自您负责的前台。但实际上，这是有人从酒店外打来的骗局。他们要求提供随机房间号，然后要求您提供信用卡和地址信息。
他们听起来很专业，你以为你在和前台说话。
如果您在旅途中遇到这种情况，告诉来电者您将到前台解决任何问题。
然后去前台或者直接打电话问有没有问题
如果没有，通知酒店经理有人试图骗取您的信用卡信息，就像前台员工一样。
这是由一个被欺骗并且仍在收拾烂摊子的人发送的。
