Message from Caren Kelly (WRLA Show Manager)
The hotel scammers are back at it again, and they even called
me.This company out of New Jersey (609 & 702
area codes) called Expo International Services and Progress Expo Services is
another one, told me they were the official housing company for the WRLA,
little did they know who they were calling.
Anyway, the short version of this
very long conversation is, I told them that I was the manager of this show and
did not give them permission to call my delegates and that I had recorded the
conversation and I was notifying the authorities of their illegal activities
and they were to cease and desist calling from whatever list they had.
Not that it worked - they are still calling our members.
Seems like they don't have names
so they are asking for the owner or manager, so give them a hard time if they
(or others) call you and get as much info from them as possible and email me
with it, then ask to speak to their manager and tell them to take you off their
calling list - or just hang up if you don't have the time (which I wouldn't
blame you).
We use ICS (International Conference Services), available on our website online reservation
system only - they will call you if you request it. ICS sent
out an email last week, to ensure you had your room(s) booked as per last year.
Feel free to respond to them or email wrla@wrla.org or Susan
if you have any questions or problems.
Thanks for reading my rant as
these guys drive me crazy. See you in Calgary in January!
