How the New Hotel Scam Works

A new form of hotel scam has emerged, involving fraudsters who pose as guests and extend their stays without going through the official checkout process. This crime took an unexpected turn for Nathan and Eleni Weisser, who shared their experience of being targeted at the London Hilton. Though they had officially left for their next destination, a scammer managed to occupy their room, amassing an $800 bill. The incident highlights the vulnerabilities in the increasingly digital hotel transaction systems.
