A lot of upper midscale hotels in the USA are owned by Indians from India whose last name is Patel.

Pretty much every single hotel gets a call from Mr. Patel at night asking to wire money due to an emergency. A lot of hotel employees fell for it and wire money. These employees even drill open the safe. Some even wire money from their personal account.

This scam is mostly social engineering without any AI/Deepfake. It's going to be a fun time ahead for everyone.
