WSC 2018 Fraudulent Room Reservations!! <\/strong>\u00a0We have learned once again that some WSC\u00a0guests are receiving emails and phone calls from an agency claiming to be the official travel agent (ex. Business Travel Management<\/em>)\u00a0\u00a0or WSC hotel room booking agent.\u00a0 Please note that this is a scam and you should not use them.\u00a0 The only<\/em> way to make reservations at the special conference rate in the WSC block is by using the link above or calling directly into the hotel.\u00a0 If you have already reserved with an outside agent, we recommend cancelling right away and\u00a0please be alert\u00a0for fraudulent charges on your credit card. We apologize for the inconvenience.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
