This is a matter of privacy.... What would you do? Names changed - all else is real.
Yesterday received a call in the AM caller ID states "John Smith". Male voice states he is calling to confirm a reservation for Jane Doe. I ask for when, he states he is unsure of the date. (First red flag) I state I need more information, he said it would be this month. I looked, no Jane Doe reservation and told him so.
As indicated, it was suspicious but we do get some business bookings that others call to confirm - or even a couple, one booking the other calling to confirm.
Then yesterday evening another call from same number. Same male voice states he is calling to confirm a reservation for Joe Smith. (Humm???) I confront him with the fact he had called earlier in the day. He, squeamishly replys yes. I quickly told him that I could not confirm this information with anyone else than the person with the reservation.
Of course this could possibly be a legitimate call, but if so, he should have acted quickly to state his reason. I could not in good faith give this person any info. He could be a jealous ex-boyfriend or a suspicious husband - who knows and although I am not in favor of that type of behavior, they are adults and must find their own way. And as for "John Smith" he would be best to move on...he must have other reasons to speculate.
