Stay alert when a caller claims to book a hotel at a rock‑bottom rate and asks for immediate payment. These scams often masquerade as well‑known chains, then inflate the charge with hidden “tax” or “recovery” fees and disappear when you try to cancel. Keep a record of the exact website URL, email address, and any reference numbers; verify the reservation directly with the hotel before paying. If you suspect fraud, contact your credit‑card issuer right away and dispute the charge. Report the incident to consumer‑protection agencies and block the number to stop future calls.
