SCAM ALERT- HOUSING AND LIST BROKERS
Posted: Jan 24, 2024
LIST BROKERS
Some members, conference attendees, and exhibitors receive emails from rogue list brokers claiming to have access to an ISPOR conference attendee list for sale. This scam afflicts trade shows where exhibitors are contacted by people fraudulently claiming to have and sell the show’s attendee list. Please know that ISPOR does not rent, share, or sell your email or physical address to any third parties or list brokers. These scammers are trying to phish for your information and/or gain access to financial resources. The companies have no association with ISPOR or the Conference (or any other ISPOR events). Please do not engage with and/or acquire/purchase any list from any company claiming to have use of the ISPOR conference database, attendees, or contact information as it puts you and others' contact information at risk. Oftentimes, responding to these emails (even to “unsubscribe”) confirms to them that they have reached a valid email address.
HOUSING
Companies may mislead event participants by representing themselves as the official congress accommodation provider and may use a range of tactics to deceive, including the use of the ISPOR logo. In some cases, event participants have been led to believe that they had made a reservation, only to arrive at the event to find that no reservation has been made and their credit cards may have been charged. Please do not engage with and/or acquire/purchase any reservations from any company making these claims. Official Hotel & Travel information for ISPOR 2024.
ISPOR takes this matter very seriously and will do whatever possible to protect our attendees, partners, and exhibitors. We encourage you to block the sender, delete the email, and report scammers to us and/or to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission fraud division.
