Mitt: Your Marriott Hotels can go Fuck Themselves. I stayed there on business-not anymore.

[TheBlackAdder]

.

Marriott has scammers from India and elsewhere spoofing US phone numbers, with 2-week stays.

Marriott knows this is going on, but apparently isn't working with India police like other businesses.


It's not our jobs to prevent this from occurring-- it's Marriott's because they are the ones that are either ignoring this problem, not aggressively going after them, or actively supporting and promoting their efforts. India police are more than willing to shutdown scammer operations and Marriott has a 37 hotel presence there too!

Either their business is being harmed by these scammers or not--which is it?

On business trips, Marriott always comes up as a preferred option. Not by me anymore.

6. They call using other people's local phone numbers, masking the original Caller ID information.

2. I assume you mean Romney. What is his connection to Marriott?

He doesn't own it. And he left the Marriott board of directors two years ago.

12. He's Mormon, like the Marriott family.

He must be saying 'You're making the LDS look bad!" Because the temple garments don't do that on their own...

Another minding post

9. When I get calls from these and others I see how long I can keep them on the phone.

It is one of the few pleasures I get with the pandemic.

11. There are some choice Hindi words you can use.

Madarchod.
Behanchod.
Randi.
Maa ka Bhosada.
Hijade.
Bhosadike.
Ullu ke patthe.
Gadhe.

However they will come back with something about your mother.

15. Wow, I just googled some of these Hindi words. Those Indians really know how to curse.

10. Please explain what the scam is. How does it work?

Are they using Marriott hotel rooms and its phones to run the scam?
