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............

I, too, have gotten calls from the Marriott robocaller.
In my
long experience in receiving offers of "complimentary stays," this is always an opportunity to make a purchase in
some variation of a time share condo.
They have shifted from a specific date, in a specific unit, in a specific building, to "credits" which can be used at many different locations, or for taxi rides, or for cruises, or for taxi fares, or car rentals, or a multitude of other things, but in the final analysis
they want your money.
I used to be courteous in declining. I now just hang up on them.
