Scams like these

How can you conclude that it was a scam? Perhaps it was a Nigerian Prince sitting on a boatload of Qantas points gifted to him by Uncle Alan?
In case you’ve forgotten, AJ’s moved on. So should we.

I suspect even JA has moved on since his book has done more to dislodge a PM v a company board (as was his intention)…. But he sold some books and the carnage is in the rear view mirror….
 
I'm getting 3 or 4 calls at odd hours, but never leave a msg - except once. Supposedly 'Tom' from Wine Concierge who had a great deal on Shiraz! A quick google - seems to be an AI Bot, and all seem to come from the same series of phone numbers. Any ideas how I can somehow get off their list as has been going on for 4 weeks now and no idea how they got my number.

Thanks in advance!

All I can is good luck - I don't remember how I stopped them but it wasn't easy

UPDATE NO 3
I get an email from the hotel manager himself.
Yep, the system has been compromised — police and IT involved — its widespread. They cannot identify the source
Madam - you have been most helpful and we gave the police your screenshots. We understand your cancelling but will keep you informed of progress….
UPDATE NO 4:
Never heard another word
Glad I cancelled my booking and went somewhere else
