I can assure you - this is no prank. As a communications supervisor at a
large hospital, I experienced this first hand. These people are
extremely clever, and this is not the only ploy they use. They also keep
trying until they realize that it's not going to work, then they lie low
for a while, (or try another area), and then they're back again. The
other hospitals in the area were getting these same calls.
There was a report in our paper about a month ago, warning hotel
operators about this scam.

This is what we were told when it was reported to the police.
Be careful...be very, very careful...
