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.

A significant part of this vision includes a $25 million investment in upgrading the fleet, which reflects the company’s commitment to safety, comfort, and environmental sustainability. This substantial capital infusion aims to enhance passengers’ travel experiences and maintain Peter Pan’s competitive edge in the industry.

The pandemic posed unprecedented challenges for the company, leading to a drastic reduction in commuter traffic. However, Peter Pan Bus Lines has shown resilience, pivoting towards longer-distance travel, which has proven more resilient during these times. The company has also fostered strategic partnerships with entities like Trailways and Amtrak, facilitating more excellent connectivity and convenience for travelers.

Peter Picknelly’s children are taking on significant roles within the company, ensuring that the values and vision of the founding generation continue to drive the business forward. This generational collaboration is vital for the company’s sustainability and growth, allowing it to adapt to changing market demands while preserving its legacy.

Peter Pan Bus Lines remains a pillar in the transportation sector, known for its rich history and progressive outlook. As it rolls into its fourth generation, the company is well-positioned to navigate future challenges and capitalize on new opportunities, ensuring its continued success and relevance in the industry.
