Hotel employees everywhere are exposed to Credit Card numbers given by guests on a daily basis. What if they were to misuse it? An auditor for a stylish New York City hotel chain has been indicted for allegedly selling credit card numbers and selling it to a man accused of using it to buy $840,000 worth of airline tickets and other items, the Associated Press reports. The indicted hotel auditor, Lukasz Kruk, 27, worked for Amsterdam Hospitality Group, which runs eight hotels including the chic, four-star Empire Hotel across from Lincoln Center that's popular with celebrities.
People who use their credit card oftens, can often overlook a charge unless checking their account on a daily basis. However, hotels have access to authorize their cards at any time, and one cannot overlook that threat. I recommend guests to ensure they pay attention to all hotel transactions placed on their accounts. Has anyone experienced an hotel charge that was unauthorized?
