Hotels in a major metro area have apparently been targeted by someone calling rooms and posing as hotel staff. It's been pretty effective, or so I could conclude not just from seeing a friend fall for it but from seeing the actual letter printed by one of the hotels (dated over a week ago) to help patrons get out of the charge with their credit providers.
Withholding details until I've been cleared to provide more. I frankly have no idea how common a practice this is; I just thought it was a creative way to rapidly establish trust with hotel patrons.
