apparent identity theft from 2 guests at Hyatt Regency

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear SEELANGS colleagues:

The 2 attached alarms have just been sounded by two subscribers 
to a different (music) list-server.  From their input, it appears that 
2 people staying recently at Hyatt-Regency hotels on the West Coast 
somehow have had their identities stolen and money drained from 
their accounts.  Details follow.  Draw your own conclusions.

Hoping the same does not happen to anyone else,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.

This was sent around by SMT-announce. I suspect that it may 
also be of interest to AMS-L.

Dear Theorists, 

I was lucky enough to receive a call from Thomas Nelson [publisher] 
this morning, indicating that someone has attempted to use my 
check card to purchase $825.99 worth of books, 40 of which are to 
be shipped to Wyoming. Upon further inspection, it also appears 
that my check card has incurred an additional four charges from the 
Hyatt Regency since I departed Los Angeles.   

Please check your accounts and be sure that nothing of the kind has 
happened to your credit and debit cards. 

Best wishes,

Do you know, I had a problem with credit card fraud after staying in a 
Hyatt in Seattle. I wonder if there's some huge thing going on throughout 
the [ Hyatt hotel ] chain?
