Hotel/Motel Scam (email sharing)

Hotel/Motel Scam (This one is so simple it is shocking)

This is kind of scary if only because of how simple it is.

I'll bet this works all too often.

You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When

Checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the

Charges for your room). You get to your room and settle in.

Someone calls the front desk and asked for (example) Room 620

(which happens to be your room). Your phone rings in your room.

You answer and the person on the other end says the following,

'This is the front desk. When checking in, we came cross a problem

with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit

card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side

of your charge card.'

Not thinking anything you might give this person your information,

since the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it

is a scam of someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk.

They ask for a random room number. Then, ask you for credit card

information and address information. Sounds so professional that

you do think you are talking to the front desk.

If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation, tell the caller

that you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems.

Then, go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there

was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to scam

you of your credit card information acting like a front desk employee.

This was sent by someone who has been duped, and is still

clearing up the mess.

Please everyone, help spread the word by forwarding this e-mail

to everyone you know. Who knows, you might just help someone avoid

A nasty experience.



Anyone travelling should be aware of this one! Don't tell them anything,

just say, I'll be right down to the desk to clear it up.

主題： FLOUR...useful tip

不知是真是假 ..........記住也無妨!
Once again it is worth a try.
值得一试
Once I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling
water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went
into the boiling water....
在一次煮玉米粥时，我用叉子在沸腾的粥里翻搅，想看看粥好了没有。
我错手没拿到叉子，而把手碰进了沸水里面！痛得我尖叫起来！
A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, just
as I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour...I
pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He said to keep my hand
in the flour for 10 mins. which I did. He said that in Vietnam , this guy
was on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to
put the fire out...well, it not only put the fire out, but he never even had
a blister!!!!
一位越南朋友,他是位兽医，恰巧来到我家，我正在尖叫！他即刻问我有没有面粉。我拿出一袋面粉，他叫我把手伸进去，并且放在面粉里10分钟，我照做了。他说，在越南曾有一个家伙身上着火了，众人在惊慌中把一袋子的面粉撒在他的身上灭火。但令人惊讶的是，它不仅灭了火，被燒那家伙的身上竞没有水泡！！！
So, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins, and then pulled it out and had not even a red mark or a blister and absolutley NO
PAIN.
Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself,
I use the flour and never ONCE have I ever had a red spot, a burn or a blister!
*cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour.
我把手放在面粉里10分钟后拿出来，手上确実没有灼伤的红印或者水泡，完全没有受伤！
现在，我总会在冰箱放一袋子面粉，每次不小心灼伤自己，我就用面粉敷，没有一次是有红印或水泡的。
*注意：冷面粉比常温面粉效果更佳！
Miracle, if you ask me. Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did. I even burnt my tongue and put the flour on it for about 10 mins, and the pain was gone and no burn. Try it!
Don't run your burn area under Cold water first, just put it right into the flour for 10 mins and experience a miracle!
奇迹！如果你问我的话。放一袋白面粉在冰箱是不会錯的。我甚至在烫到舌头的时候，把面粉敷在上面10分钟，伤去无痕！试一试吧！
不要把你烫伤的地方马上放在冷水下冲洗，而要放在面粉里10分钟，你会发现奇迹的！
