New Hotel Scams

Got this funny one from Martha recently:



I heard on the radio the other day of some new hotel scams to be aware of:



1. You check in, then soon after you get a call from front desk, asking to verify your credit card number...don't give it to them.

2. A fast food flyer under your door...you call and order with your credit card but it's a scam and now they have your number.

3. You connect to a wifi internet connection that looks like the hotel name but it isn't and they grab your information from the connection.

Give the number of credit card can be dangerous. Once cloned mine. But the bank branch has cleared and sent me a new one ;D

I have thought about #3 every time I log onto the hotel's wifi. It is kind of scary.
