Sailors... watch out for scaming hotels and businesses!

[Michele]

My son just got his debit card statement today and we found some unaccounted transactions on it. $548.25 worth! He was on leave a couple of weekends ago and paid for a buddy and himself to stay at the Gurnee Grand Hotel, Gurnee, IL for one night. The next three transactions, totaling $548.25 to Sensation Beauty, Gurnee, IL were after the one night's fee at the hotel. How did this beauty place get his debit number and charge for it? And furthermore, this Beauty Sensation place obviously didn't ask for ID. They actually let whomever charge to just a number. Of course, we can't prove anything, but maybe if enough people boycot these types of businesses, they might just get what they deserve. Just something we should let our sailors know.

Thank you Michele for that info. I will make sure I let my son know about this. Hopefully, something will be done about it, but like u said, how do u prove it. Those kind of people will try and take our childrens money no matter how they can. It's sad!
