Be Aware of Common Scams

Many organizations, including ASOR, are being targeted by fraudulent groups and individuals that mine for contact information to use in phishing scams, fake hotel reservations and mailing lists, and money transfer requests. Conferences and hotel blocks are often targets of these scams.

Unfortunately, 17吃瓜members have reported receiving e-mails from scammers posing as 17吃瓜representatives trying to sell marketing lists, fake hotel reservations, and other services in connection with the Annual Meeting.

These individuals are not authorized by ASOR, the Annual Meeting hotel, or any of ASOR鈥檚 partners, to contact you on our behalf. No one from 17吃瓜will ask you to provide credit card or banking details to be sent by e-mail. Always check the e-mail address of the sender鈥攁 message from 17吃瓜will end in @asor.org (not Gmail or another account).

If you receive an e-mail that looks like a scam, but is from a Whova.io account, it is not fraudulent, but it is also not authorized by ASOR. The Annual Meeting Mobile App is powered by Whova and we are working with them to disable auto-generated marketing e-mails that are on by default. You do not need to be concerned about or report emails from Whova.聽

Please let us know if you receive a fraudulent e-mail or phone call. We will do everything we can to address this situation and we appreciate your cooperation.
