Hotel Room Scam
The more scams we read about, the more we’re impressed with how many different ideas scammers come up with. This one involves innocent travelers who check into hotel rooms in foreign lands. The OP had just checked into his hotel room in Ukraine when he received a call from the front desk to clarify some information about his credit card.
As it turned out, it wasn’t the front desk at all but some local scammer who now had his card information. How terrible! It’s really scary to get stuck in such a situation in a different country so be vigilant always.
