Hotel scam targets credit-card info
If you're staying in a hotel and receive a "helpful" call from the concierge regarding your credit card, beware. Money magazine reports on a new scam making the rounds, and it targets trusting travelers.
The premise is simple enough. During your stay at a hotel, you receive a call from someone claming to be from the front desk. "There was a problem with your credit card," they'll say. "Can you please verify your card number and billing address?"

If some random guy called me up and asked for my credit card, I'd start laughing.
