This is called "Piracy" - and these calls are NOT authorized by either SGIM or the Diplomat Hotel.
Once these pirates have your personal information (and the upfront payment from your "reservation") you will find that your credit card information has been compromised and there will be no reservation in your name when you arrive at the Diplomat Hotel.
ONLY MAKE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATION THROUGH THE SGIM WEBSITE

This way you will be assured a reservation and you will also be able to take advantage of the free internet in your room that SGIM has negotiated as part of our contract.
