So, I'm pretty sure someone mentioned this but I'll be darned if I can find the thread now. I just got one of those phone calls that started off with the recorded announcement 'this phone call is brought to you by Trip Advisor' (or something along those lines), and then a guest asking about availability for next week. The person's name was on the caller id, not TA. So, I don't have anything open, but I asked her how she happened to call me, and described what happened when I answered the phone. She said she was looking for lodging in the area (parent of a new local university student) and she called the number that she found on TA. I asked her what number she called, and it was our area code but a completely different phone number, not matching any of ours (we have an 888 number, a local number and a residence number).
Since they are about to move into the booking business, I would guess this is how they will convince us to sign up with them. This could get very tricky.
