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.

Your Opinion Counts! Please Take This Short 2021 ABA’s Marketplace Survey

  • February 2, 2021

ABA needs your input on how the 2021 Marketplace will look. Please take a moment and answer this short survey.

 

ABA cannot hold Marketplace in Baltimore in June because the state of Maryland will continue to use the convention center as a field hospital for COVID-19 patients through the end of June.

 

Whatever we do, the health and safety of our members and the industry is our number one priority … above and beyond anything else!

 

Today we have two options:

 

1st Option – There is a great alternative location in the South that can host us during the same time, June (15-19). They have convention space, great hotels and are open for business.

 

2nd Option – A robust virtual program, complete with up to 54 appointments each day, through our June Marketplace dates. A virtual Marketplace will include: a member research database, education by professional speakers as we have always had, and opportunities to network with one another as you would onsite.

 

Please give us your opinion about how you are planning to participate in Marketplace through this survey.

 

All survey responses are due back to ABA by COB Wednesday, February 3.
