Awareness of travel scam

Please be advised that the third-party companies Ehotel Services and Exhibitor Housing Services (EHS) – also known as Exhibitor Housing Management (EHM) and Business Travel Management (BTM) – are targeting conference speakers and attendees with a fraudulent travel and hotel booking scheme.

The companies are calling and/or emailing conference speakers and attendees and falsely claiming they are the “official” housing bureau and/or authorized by the Palm Springs West Coast Retrovirus Meeting to book hotel and/or travel accommodations for the conference.

This is entirely false. The company makes a number of false and fraudulent claims about the conference designed to obtain your credit card information, so please be aware and do not respond to this scheme.
