I was thinking about this article.

One of two things is happening:

Either someone is going to a house phone and just dialing room numbers to see if someone answers...

Or someone has access to Drecords and is calling the number stating the person's name. I couldn't tell from the article if the caller said "Linda Smith, you have been chosen...". This one is more scarier.

But in the world we live in - credit cards can be traced and the money had to be deposited somewhere. Of course, it could be a big thing and hidden accounts everywhere - but eventually if someone looks hard enough, the culprit(s) should be found.

If someone is listening to conversations at the front desk, is it just to learn the name and room number? I only ask because after I check in, I'm gonna go right to the park even though I'll have HDD tickets already waiting for me (I probably won't get them until the day we go so I don't misplace them - unless of course they just hand them to me when I check in) which means if I were to get that kind of call, I'd be like what are you talking about, I already have tickts to see the show.

You'd be surprised what people could pick up on from a front desk conversation. How long you're staying, if you're on the dining plan, how many people in the room, including children. It's kind of scary, but just remember to always keep your guard up.
