I found that out the hard way. I had paid for the room with my credit card and when they gave me the door card I just naturally put it next to my credit card. Of course when I got to the room it wouldn't work. I imagine the same thing would happen putting the key card next to your cell phone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108059788384412586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-68637224616388207112015-09-16T21:05:11.951-04:002015-09-16T21:05:11.951-04:00Right now I only pay attention to things claiming ...Right now I only pay attention to things claiming to be from my bank if it comes in the snail mail. That's one reason I refuse to go to completely electronic statements. <br /><br />Those scams can be pretty convincing. Got my e-mail account scammed last year and it was a real pain to get it up and running again. Just try and fix that sort of problem while constantly on the move. Had a hard time to convince them I was who I said I was.

They said they were from my bank, and that his credit card from that bank was being cut off because it had been used up there. <br /><br />That didn't make any sense. But he went ahead and gave them the information they asked for. Then he called me. I went high and right and called the bank, and really raised hell. <br /><br />They said "that wasn't us." We had been scammed. They deactivated all four cards on that account and sent us all new ones, but I felt like a real jerk for losing my temper with the people at the bank. My son won't make that mistake again.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-89310694135518269552015-09-16T19:18:50.372-04:002015-09-16T19:18:50.372-04:00You are welcome Hermit Jim.You are welcome Hermit Jim.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-56746148100719935562015-09-16T13:44:57.981-04:002015-09-16T13:44:57.981-04:00Learning the hard way is the typical modus operand...Learning the hard way is the typical modus operandi for me. I'm lucky the Good Lord isn't finished with me yet or I'd of been gone a long time ago. On the other hand, He could be keeping me around to serve as an example to others as how not to do it. ; >)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-5112739331799815182015-09-16T12:38:23.172-04:002015-09-16T12:38:23.172-04:00Good info to have.
