A scammer, posing as my General Manager, called my hotel, demonstrating knowledge of the hotel's layout and operations, in an attempt to deceive me into cooperating with a Bitcoin audit scam.
Global Mediation Group scam call—what to do!
Summary — +16162191997
Expert Opinion
A caller pretended to be a hotel general manager and mentioned a Bitcoin audit before the conversation fell apart. Multiple reports show the same number delivering noisy call‑center scripts, sometimes claiming affiliation with Global Mediation Group and demanding personal data. Treat any unexpected request for Social Security numbers or payment as a potential scam. Hang up, block the number, and file a complaint with the FTC or your state consumer protection office. Keep a written log of the call details and share it with your phone carrier to help stop future calls. Stay skeptical of urgent‑tone messages that pressure you to act fast.
