Just ask a random question only a real hotel employee would know - like "What time is breakfast served?"

The problem is I dont have a "skeptical resting state" where i'm constantly trying to sniff out scams.

I google "Fairmont Hotel Berkeley" because that is what my co-workers are staying at. I get an 800 number, which I call. The person is friendly and asks "Can I help you book a room at Fairmont Berkeley?" Business customers, especially, are somewhat price insensitive since they are not paying for trips.

Sad world.

I suppose you should know this also, to detect a lie.
