<prompt> Human: Hey friends, I consider myself pretty savvy WRT scams, but I cant seem to figure this one out.I got 2 emails today from a hotel on the other side of the country. One is a receipt from my latest stay 12-Apr-2018 through 13-Apr-2018. The other email is confirmation on my upcoming reservation for 11 nights. I have never been to this hotel before and have not made a reservation. The emails have my name, phone number, address, and obviously my email correct.I called the hotel by googling the name and number and they confirmed that I have a reservation and that I previously stayed there. They confirmed all my details, and even said that I have stayed there many times in the past. I told them that Ive never been to their hotel and have no plans on staying there in the future. They said the guest probably just has the same name as me this doesnt explain why they have my email and address and phone number. They gave me the last 4 of the credit card that this was booked under, and its not one that I own.So, I panicked and checked my credit report from Equifax and Transunion. Nothing out of the ordinary.Is there a scam going on here? Why would someone use my information to book a room, but use their own credit card? Am I just being paranoid?Please assist.EDIT: So I did some more research, and the parent company of this hotel own a hotel that I stay in frequently in my city. This would explain why they have my information in their system. I called the hotel again and asked them to double check the ID tomorrow when the guy checks in. Hopefully its just a mistake and the clerk just selected the first entry with a matching name. Ill check back tomorrow and keep you guys updated.Assistant: Maybe they are trying to not leave a record of their own identity while staying there? So they have a fake ID or a lost real ID? with your information that they are showing at check in? If they are, Im sure its not under great circumstances. Human: I dont think this is a chain hotel, and its in a city I cant see myself visiting ever. Should I just ignore it? Hes supposed to check in tomorrow, maybe I can get them to connect me to his room and just ask him.  <response>: maybe I can get them to connect me to his room and just ask him.So that he can deny stealing your identity and claim to be another ? How do expect to gain information in the adverse case it is a persons whos assumed your identity.
