Disclaimer*

This time of year, PCA hears from members and Industry Partners about reoccurring scam emails and phone calls offering to assist with EXPO registrations, hotel reservations, asking for payment assistance for their EXPO registration or purchase PCA’s attendance listing.

PCA does not contract with third party companies for EXPO and will never request payment via Board of Directors or Officers.

Below are scam email messages to avoid:

Sample #1

I’m currently out of office with limited phone accessibility, I’ll need you to make a payment for our operating expense which is currently due on our behalf.
Kindly get back to me if you can get this done, so I can forward the payment details to you and get your reimbursement as soon as I am back to office.

Sample #2

I’m just dropping by to check with you, do you want Painting and Decorating Contractors of America Updated Email list? The List includes: (Verified) Email address, Phone number, Fax number, URL, Contact name, Job title, physical address, Company size.
Interested in purchasing list — just reply back as “Send Counts and Cost”.
Feel free to let me know if you have any specific targets in mind so I can customize the list

Companies (Convention Housing Services, Global Housing, Global Travel, etc…) solicit exhibitors and attendees via email or phone call to provide “assistance” with their hotel reservations. They sometimes pretend to represent PCA or the host hotel. They may assert that they can get you a better hotel rate, and/or that the rooms at the host hotel are limited. They are NOT affiliated with PCA in any capacity.

If you receive a call or email from any company claiming to represent PCA, be advised that this is a scam. We repeat, PCA does not contract with 3rd party for our events. These companies are NOT affiliated with PCA in any capacity. DO NOT MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS WITH ANYONE BUT THE HOST HOTEL.
