**WARNING SCAM**

Hello Everyone,

We have been receiving multiple calls here at the Lakeland Resort regarding someone that goes under the name Claire Alexandria or Claire Burt. Unfortunately, they have been targeting people on Facebook/Facebook Marketplace. It states that she works here but this is fake as we have nobody that has ever or currently does work here under this name.
