  • Can't tell if scammer or at wrong hotel

    Just now I had a guy come in. He said he forgot to pick up his deposit from his stay in November. I looked up his reservation under his name. Nada. I asked if the reservation could have been under a different name. He gives me his girlfriend's name. Nada. Rooms with same last name, no matching firs name. I tell him that there's nothing I can do for him at this time. He calmly leaves.

          Im going to say wrong hotel. Who the hell would just say "Oh, I cant find you in the system but here's $XX!"

          Small shred of faith left in humanity. (Its tiny, but its there. )

            If he'd pitched a fit, scammer. Since it doesn't sound like he did, I'd say wrong hotel.
            If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

              I'm strung out on cold meds. That makes sense.

              I agree with raudf. No fit, no scam.

                  I read Cerebus, so that makes sense to me, as well. The critters are well-known as Weirdness Magnets.

                    I would guess wrong hotel, as there was no fit or request for someone higher up.
                    I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

                      Yeah, unless he was going for a really common name and just hoping for a lucky break, I'd go with wrong hotel. I've never seen a scammer not throw a fit to try and get their way.

                        Maybe right hotel but wrong location? My dad did this twice, two years in a row with family vacations.
