New hotel scam that uses your keycard AFTER you check out – after couple were left £600 out of pocket
The Sun UK
HOLIDAYMAKERS have been warned over a new hotel scam which use their keycards after they check out after one couple was left £600 out of pocket.
Nathan and Eleni Weisser found themselves slapped with a hefty bill for luxury extras they had never used.
The pair, who were travelling from the US to the Greek Islands, broke their trip up with a stay at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
After enjoying some sightseeing and dinner in town, they checked out the next day to embark on the next leg of their journey.
However, they had no idea that they had already fallen victim to a cunning keycard scam by the time they got on the plane.
In an effort to avoid a long check-out queue that morning, they had dropped off their keys into a return box in the foyer.
