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 Statement on Motorcoach State Rally Next Week

  • May 22, 2020

Share

Dear Members,

Several of you have asked about UMA/ABA's involvement in the state Rally for Awareness, that is now scheduled for June 3. As background, both ABA and UMA were very much involved and supportive of the very successful D.C. rally on May 13, which had broad support from manufacturers and state associations, as well as the entire motorcoach industry.

The state events that are being planned for June 3, 2020 do not include any involvement from ABA and UMA. Our focus continues to be the mission of directly influencing the federal government, specifically lawmakers in Congress, to support our industry.

We wish the June rally coordinators well and have encouraged them to adhere to the code of conduct and positive messaging that worked so well in D.C.

As always, we continue working for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Regards,

Peter Pantuso

President & CEO
