Hotel Reservation Fraud Alert

There are companies that pose as official housing bureau and contact attendees telling them the guest room block is sold out. The company then quotes a rate at another hotel claiming it is an official room block and that you must reserve through them to get discounted rates. They obtain and access your credit card. This scam is affecting meetings all over the country. Always use the hotel reservation links provided on the host organization’s web site.
