Default Another scam robocall?

We received a robocall last evening from someone claiming to be from the "Marriott Rewards Friends and Family Discount program" telling us we had been selected for a "complimentary stay". I've been a Marriott rewards member for 30 years, and there is such a program, but you need a form signed by a Marriott manager to get the employee rate at a hotel. We did not answer the phone, so I don't know what would have happened if I had selected one of their choices, but I'm guessing it wouldn't have been good.

The phone number the call came from was a number for a legitimate business in Belleview, so I think the number was spoofed.

Be careful out there............
