Received a scam phone call at Poly

Maybe security should be stricter for all the businesses that are allowed access on property. It seems strange to consider the registered guest on property , relaxing in their room as a security risk... and then Warn us with a random note placed by the phone .

It’s very easy for non guests to access Disney hotels, or any hotels. For example, if someone parks at the Studios, they can walk over to the Epcot resorts, or take the Skyliner to those resorts. The people with the fake flyers would just take a backpack full of flyers, go to a resort and walk down the halls putting flyers under doors until the backpack was empty. I actually saw someone doing this at BWV a few years ago as I went back to my room for a mid day rest. They took off running as soon as they realized someone else was in the hall. It would be easy enough to find a House Phone in any hotel, not just Disney, for calling rooms directly while bypassing any legitimate employees. It’s a shame that it’s on the guest to be cautious, but it’s really difficult to stop all the scammers without also harassing legitimate guests.

I had that at YC this past weekend. We have gotten the "do not give our your personal information" message on our last three trips, all at deluxe resorts. One even came in during the middle of the night, scared me to death and woke us all up. I had actually heard security outside earlier and people frantically talking on walkie talkies so I figured something actually happened. I don't think I'd ever give our my info, no reason to, just walk on down to the desk myself.

I wouldn't be too happy to get a call like that in the middle of the night.

Oh, I wasn’t at all. Mostly asleep, red light flashing on the phone in the room confusing me, I can’t find anything and end up waking everyone up. Then couldn’t get it to delete the message so the light was just flashing away.

Yes, I got phone warnings about scam calls during my trip last month. I didn't get any scam calls, though.
