Scam Scenerio to keep in mind.............

Occasionally my dad forwards me something that isn't Conservative Rhetoric or Jokes.......................

I think this is fairly common sense, but I could see myself getting duped as I'm a very trusting person.
I was glad to file this in the back of my head.

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 asked for (example) Room 620 (which happens to be your room).

 Your 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 number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side
 of your charge card."
  Not thinking anything you might give this person your 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. Sounding so professional that you do        think 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 clearing up
the mess.

 

 P.S. Please everyone, help spread the word by forwarding this email to
 everyone you know. Who knows, you might just help someone avoid a nasty
 experience.
