Talked to Scott Hook today, he said he had received 6 calls in 10 minutes from different folks with foreign accents offering discounted rates for hotels in Nashville if you booked through them. He finally let them have it. .Upon researching back tracking the number it is a scam with all negative results.
So if you are an exhibitor in Nashville just a heads up as that is probably where they are getting the names.

Something similar happened last year to one or more of the members here.....thanks for the heads up!

I got had last year- had to fight my credit card company for 6 weeks before they gave in-
Russell beard called yesterday and he had been called also!!
Last year the company was called Extended Housing Services- went by EHS-
Beware of them

Thanks for the re assurance guys.. We are all in this together..

This is a big thing now with ALL the big shows,..dealer or public,...best thing is not to even respond to them,..especially through email.

well...just got the phone call from the sham place today----they went right into to sell mode----I told them to remove me from the call list

My wife got a call the other day. They started off saying they were with the NWTF Marketing Division and when she asked questions, they switched her over to a supposed hotel. I called the NWTF and gave them the phone number that came up on caller ID. They checked it out and told them they were messing with fire for representing the NWTF. This is a huge scam and my guess is the Expo people have sold them all the exhibitors phone numbers.
