ALERT: Fraudulent E-Mails, Calls, and Phishing Scams
Many organizations, including ASOR, are being targeted by fraudulent companies and individuals that mine for contact information to use in phishing scams such as mailing lists, fake hotel reservations, and money transfer requests. Unfortunately, ASOR members have reported receiving e-mails from fraudsters posing as ASOR representatives, even using the ASOR logo, trying to sell marketing lists or other services.
These individuals are not authorized by ASOR, the Annual Meeting hotel, or any of ASOR’s partners, to contact you on our behalf. No one from ASOR will contact you to ask for credit card information or banking details to be sent by e-mail. Always check the e-mail address of the sender – a message from ASOR will end in @asor.org (not gmail or another account).
When making hotel reservations for ASOR’s Annual Meeting, book directly in ASOR’s Room Block at the conference hotel via the link or telephone number listed on ASOR’s website. No one will call you from ASOR or the hotel asking you to make a hotel reservation. 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.
More information on phishing scams is available on the Federal Trade Commission’s website.
