WARNING: Housing “Pirates” and “Poachers” Scam
SAME works directly with hotels to create room blocks for our attendees at the SAME contracted hotels. Please be vigilant if contacted by any company or service that implies or claims to be an official housing provider for the SAME or the IPRS. The ONLY way to book your rooms for IPRS is through the links provided. If you are contacted by one of these poacher companies, please collect as much information as you can (name of company, person calling, telephone number) and notify SAME immediately. You can also help SAME by reporting the fraudulent organization to the Federal Trade Commission here.
Room poaching is a practice carried out by third-party companies that act as travel agencies, wholesalers, or destination management companies to solicit registrants for room reservations. Poachers often represent themselves as being affiliated with SAME. The poacher might inform registrants that the hotel room block is “sold out,” and that if you do not book with them immediately, you may not get a room. Additional deceptive tactics may include distributing forms or promotional materials that appear to be issued by SAME.
-
Room poachers make it more difficult for us to meet our room block commitments and expose us to penalties and increased room rates for our events.
- Room poachers often don’t deliver on promises to customers. When customers arrive, reservations do not exist or the hotels are not conveniently located. Sometimes the rooms have been canceled and hefty cancelation fees have been placed on the customer’s credit card.
Below is a list of phone numbers and emails that have contacted attendees and exhibitors and are NOT sanctioned by SAME to offer housing (or any other service) for our events.
Engage with these companies and individuals at your own risk.
