Good Afternoon Everyone
I received this from one of our hotels concerning credit card security and wanted to make sure all of you were aware of what has been happening.
“Typically, hotels would go ahead and transfer the call if the caller knows the name registered to the room. I say typically, because there is a big scam going on right now nationwide that involves thieves calling hotels and doing just that. Once they are connected to the guest’s room, they say they are with the front desk and they need to verify their credit card number. Then they have taken their cc number and stolen their identity and worse”

The above was an edited email from my workplace. I felt everyone should know this especially with folks attending deer shows now.
