London’s Ritz hotel is investigating a potential data breach by ‘extremely convincing’ scammers who posed as hotel staff to steal payment card details from diners.
The hotel is investigating a potential data breach and said it has alerted the Information Commissioner’s Officers (ICO), the BBC reports.
The scammers phoned people with exact details of their restaurant bookings, asking them to ‘confirm’ card details, then tried to spend thousands of pounds at Argos.
It’s not known how they got the information.
