Awareness on Travel Scheme Deaminet meeting organizers have learned that third-party companies, Ehotel Services, 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 company is calling and/or emailing conference speakers and attendees and falsely claiming it is the “official” housing bureau and/or authorized by Deaminet 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 so please be aware and do not respond to this scheme.
