Here's a really low-tech way to steal credit card info while at a hotel:
Use a lobby phone to call up to a room. Say you're from the front desk, and there was an error in billing and you need to verify the credit card info. 9/10 people will voluntarily hand over a card number, expiration date, and CVV2 number without hesitation. Offer complimentary room service to seal the deal.
- troygoode 16y agoThe complimentary room service thing is probably a poor choice, as the people you conned will likely call the front desk when it doesn't arrive, realize something is up, and cancel the card.
