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.

Attention Musicians: ABA Jam Band is Looking for Musicians to Play at #ABADetroit

Share

Attention Musicians – For the last few years, a group of ABA member-musicians have come together to jam during the final night of Marketplace. If you were in Grapevine in January you also saw some of the ABA Jam Band members play during one of the all-delegate lunches.

This year, the ABA Jam Band is looking for additional musicians; specifically, saxophone and trumpet, but we’re looking for folks that are solid players with any musical instrument or vocals. We’ve had a blast performing together over the last several years and want to keep the tradition going. This year as we’re in Detroit, we’re aiming to up our musical game to include more Motown, funk, rock-upbeat tunes

If you’re interested and up to the task, email Peter at ppantuso@buses.org. If you have a video that would be awesome! We’ll be coordinating the details, set list and rehearsal times as we get closer to Marketplace 2023. Hope you can join us onstage in Motown!
