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.

Notary Hotel, Autograph Collection (A Premium Marriott Property)

In the 20th century, Philadelphia’s City Hall Annex was where Philadelphians would go to get official documents notarized. Today, the Classical Revival-style building houses the Notary Hotel, Autograph Collection, part of the Mariott family. 100 years later, the Notary Hotel — featuring 1920s décor combined with all of today’s modern amenities — invites visitors to “leave their stamp” on Philadelphia.

Oh, and if you’re looking for the hotel closest to the Marketplace Exhibit Hall entrance? That would be the Notary!
