BEWARE: ABA Marketplace Scams

We want to bring to your immediate attention a concerning issue that has arisen in the last few days. There has been an increasing number of scam calls targeting our members and Marketplace registrants regarding hotel reservations.

 

Important Details:

Scam Activity: The most prolific scam call is coming from 800-878-0113 from an individual named "Joseph." This caller is falsely claiming to offer an early bird rate for hotel stays in Philadelphia.

Our Process: ABA will be opening up hotel reservations on August 9, and we are not using any third-party affiliate to call you about those reservations, secure "special" low rates, or other offers. These calls are scams.

 

Action Steps

Do Not Engage: If you receive such a call from 800-878-0113 or other unfamiliar number, we suggest blocking the number to remove further contact from the scammer.

Official Reservations: The only way to secure your hotel reservations is through ABA and the Marketplace website. Information on how to make reservations will be posted on August 9, and we will send out a notice to all current registered attendees with information on how to secure your hotel booking.

 

ABA is committed to ensuring your safety and the security of your information. Please remain vigilant and do not engage with these fraudulent calls. If you have any questions or need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us directly at (800) 283-2877.

ABA Offers Discount on Member Dues Renewals

Share

Dear ABA Members,

 

Saying this has been a very rough year for all of us is an understatement. There isn’t one segment of our industry that hasn’t been hit hard by the pandemic, from tour and bus operators, to the travel industry and all the suppliers to the industry.

At ABA, we want to continue providing you the excellent customer service, lobbying and tools you have come to expect from your association, but we are also aware of the financial constraints on all of our member organizations. Because of the challenges all ABA members are facing, and because we value your membership and participation with ABA, the ABA Board of Directors has voted to give a dues discount to every ABA member.

Starting with the next dues cycles, the ABA Board has voted to give bus and tour operators a 50 percent discount off their membership renewal fees. That dues cycle runs from July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021

For all other membership segments (primarily travel and associates) the Board has voted to give members a 25 percent discount off their dues. That dues cycle runs January 1 – December 31, 2021

This is the time more than ever that we work together to help our industry come through this pandemic as strong as we can.

If you have any questions about your renewal dues, you can contact Lia Zegeye in ABA’s Membership Department at lzegeye@buses.org or call 202-218-7234.

Wishing you and your family the best.

Don DeVivo
Chairman
ABA Board of Directors
