Little Rock, AR –-(Ammoland.com)- Sham housing companies may approach NASGW members and exhibitors with fraudulent offerings of hotel rooms at discounts.
Lured by highly attractive rates, exhibitors and attendees fall prey to these imposters losing significant deposits, discovering hidden costs, up front charges or being bait and switched to hotel rooms they never booked.
These companies are in no way affiliated with NASGW, or the official hotels in Little Rock, Arkansas. They troll the internet and association web sites looking for annual events and then gain access to email addresses for direct contact or draw attendees to their websites posing as your association’s sanctioned housing provider.
Do not give them your credit card information.
The Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau is the ONLY official housing company for this event and will not contact you directly to make a reservation. Booking through NASGW’s official housing provider ensures you will be working with a reputable service, that your credit card information is secure, and that you will benefit from all services provided to NASGW attendees at the official hotels including shuttle transportation to the convention center.
If you are contacted by anyone asking if you need a room reservation for the NASGW 2014, or if they represent themselves as the “NASGW housing provider,” please get as much information as you can, then contact Penny Nagel at the Convention Bureau (pnagel@littlerock.com) or call 501-370-3237.
