Scam Going on in Hotels

A hotel my husband, the pilot, recently stayed at shared this warning. There are others that are calling hotel guests identifying themselves as hotel personnel. They state that they are having trouble with your credit card and need to verify your information. Once these scam artists have your credit card information, they steal you blind. Actual hotel personnel will never call you and ask you for your information over the phone. If they are having any problems, they will call you and ask you to come down to the front desk. A good rule of thumb is to never give any credit card information over the phone no matter how convincing they sound under any circumstances.
