A PGA National Resort text message about a reservation problem or payment check may leave you wondering whether it is real. A third-party warning has raised a possible impersonation scam involving the resort’s name. The specific message and callback number have not been independently authenticated by TIAS.
What Has Been Reported?
An October 18, 2026 Online Threat Alerts warning describes messages using PGA National Resort’s name that ask recipients to call about payment verification or a pending reservation. That warning identifies 833-217-3754 as the callback number.
That attribution comes from one third-party warning. TIAS has not authenticated an original guest message, verified who operates the number, or located confirmation from the resort or law enforcement of this specific callback request. We have not established a victim count or verified financial loss.
How Can I Verify My Reservation?
Start at PGA National Resort’s official website, entered independently. Its reservation FAQ, checked October 19, gives these routes:
- Reservation assistance: The FAQ lists 800-863-2819 for the reservations department and for changes to bookings made through its call center.
- Booked on the resort website: The FAQ directs guests to the website’s booking area and its “Modify Reservation” option.
- Booked through a third party: For changes or cancellations, the resort directs guests back to the platform they used, such as Expedia or Booking.com. Open that service independently.
Ask whether your booking needs attention and whether the exact message and callback number are authorized. You can say: “I received a message about my reservation asking me to call another number. Can you verify the request through your reservation records?”
A number that differs from the FAQ is not, by itself, proof of fraud. The purpose of this check is to obtain confirmation through a known official route.
What If the Message Knows My Name or Stay Dates?
Correct details should not replace independent verification. They also do not establish where the sender obtained the information. TIAS cannot determine the source of any guest information from the unverified report.
The FTC’s text-message guidance warns that fraudulent messages can claim a payment problem and seek personal or financial information. If a request may be real, contact the business through a website or number you already know is genuine.
What If I Already Shared Payment Information?
Contact your bank or card issuer promptly through its official app or the number on your card. Explain what you shared or paid, ask about protecting the account, and ask what recovery options apply. A refund is not guaranteed. If you shared a password, change it and any other account using the same password.
Follow the FTC’s recovery guidance for your situation. Save the message and transaction records. You can report an unwanted text as junk, forward it to 7726 (SPAM), and report suspected fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
If sharing an example publicly, redact your name, booking reference, stay dates, personal contact details and payment information. For additional reporting routes, see our consumer resources page.
PGA National Text Message Questions
Is 833-217-3754 a verified PGA National Resort number?
TIAS has not verified its operator or whether the resort authorizes it. One third-party warning names it. Use the resort’s independently accessed reservation instructions to check the exact request.
Should I cancel my reservation because I received a text?
A text alone does not establish that your reservation is invalid or needs cancellation. Check the booking through the resort or original booking platform before making changes.
Does this mean PGA National Resort was hacked?
No breach has been established by this TIAS review. A claim about a message, even one said to contain reservation details, does not establish how information was obtained.
Can my phone’s scam warning settle whether it is genuine?
Treat a warning as a reason to stop and check. Verify the request with the business independently. Our Android scam warnings guide explains the limits of those protections.
