On October 15th, 2022, Brook Haven police were called to the Courtyard Marriott in Brook Haven, Georgia, after a guest used a fraudulent credit card to rent a room. That happened. You guys got plenty plenty of things to do. Um here's here here's a situation. Um yes, last last week, last Saturday, this person right here checked in. Okay. S um Alexandra um Johnson, I saw her license. She's in the building. This is her license number. She don't look nothing like that person. So, I know it's not her. I don't know who who license she got, but it ain't hers. Okay. She stayed last week and she ran up $1,300. Okay. This guest right here called me yesterday said, "You know what? I wasn't in your hotel." You know what I'm saying? So, so then what I did was I I pul I pulled the number to see, you know what I'm saying, who it was. And this person has used this number three times the past week at this hotel. Now, she made two reservations. She didn't show up. They went to no show. This one, she stayed. She's still here. She's still here. She She went up to this person's room right here. So, she's in this room right here. Um and I called from I called my um my Marriott Freedom Check to see was there any fraud on um this account. They said they can't see anything. Don't mean it's not there, but they just can't see it cuz a lot of these cards go through. So somebody else, she's in a room with somebody else currently. Correct. Correct. And I don't think the guy's there because he had called us and said, "Hey, I'm not there, but I want my girlfriend to have access to my to my room." Well, then when they when she told me was this name right here, I was like, "Oh, this the joker that already done played me for 1300 last week." Who's staying in the other room? So, the person stay in this other room is this person right here. Now, he claims that's that's his girlfriend. So, I don't know how they know each other. I don't know what you know what the deal is. But I got her number. Is there any way can you see if you got anything on here? Cuz that's So this is that's that that's the driver's license number that she gave to Right. Well, she just she just showed it. She just showed it here to get a key to go upstairs. Oh, okay. So that's what she said. Did it come back to this to the license have that name on it? Yes, it does. It has that name on it. Okay. Um All right. I'll go take a look at it. Okay. Um do you have the contact information for the American Express account holder? I don't. Um, I should have got that, but she had just called me and just said, "Hey, um, because it was a no-show charge that went through." Do you have the phone number for the victim? I don't because she's not a guest here. She just got alert on my phone. She said, "Hey, I'm not staying at your hotel. You know what?" She called yesterday. Oh, okay. It would be on a caller ID or something. Right. Right. Right. So, do you have the full card number? I don't, but I did tell her that that she needs to get her card, you know, cancelled because someone's trying to use her car three times. And who else knows how many other times she So when she made this reservation, was this an online reservation or did she actually present the physical card to uh Yeah, she's supposed to prevent the car, but I was telling my colleagues, I think she frauded us cuz I think she manually enter and we don't accept that. They got to do a chip or swipe. No manually put the card in because that's always a telltale sign for for fraud. So she manually put that number in. She whoever checked in, let her put it in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I I think we just we just missed it when she when she went to check in cuz it shouldn't be a manual charge. If you can work on a statement and that statement uh Okay. You know, put that you received a phone call yesterday. Okay. From the lady. Okay. Um if you did you write her name down. Uh all I know is her name is Neil. Miss Neil. Just write that in there, I guess. And that you know she called you about American Express. Okay. And then we can add all this other stuff to it. Okay. I'll go out and check this in the See if they got anything on. Okay. All right. Take it off. Okay, you ready here? Um, so she rented this room for like a week and ran out $1,300. This American Express lady called yesterday and she's like, "Yeah, I've never been to your hotel." So, um, she's currently in this room here. Um, say, we got her license. Sadie Alexander Johnson. Well, he said, well, he said that he's like, I don't think this is her. It doesn't look anything like her. So, I was going to run it real quick. Um, but so boyfriend calls. Sounds like he's not here. And was like, well, I want my girlfriend to have access to my room. And so, he's in this room, but they said they don't think he's here right now cuz she just came down to get he's like, "Well, what's the name?" And then soon as he gave that name, he was like, "That must joker that ran us up for 1,300 bucks already." So, you've been there for like over a week. What? What was the video?
