Stay Alert: Avoid Scam Hotel Deals for the DEMA Show
Every year, the DEMA Show attracts numerous businesses and professionals in the scuba diving and adventure travel world. Unfortunately, not everyone looking to reach out to attendees is legitimate. Scam companies are targeting people going to the DEMA Show with fake hotel offers that seem too good to be true—and they are.
The Scammers’ Tricks
These fraudulent companies reach out to exhibitors and attendees, offering hotel rooms at incredible discounts. But here’s the catch:
- They lure you in with great rates, but often switch up the details last minute.
- Victims might lose money in deposits or find unexpected extra charges.
- Fraudsters are not connected to DEMA Show or their official hotel partners.
How to Protect Yourself
Don’t fall victim to these deceitful tactics. Here’s what you can do to stay safe:
- If anyone contacts you offering hotel reservations for DEMA, don’t give them your credit card details.
- Check their legitimacy—are they claiming to be “DEMA’s official housing providers?” That’s a red flag.
- Gather information about any caller and report it to the DEMA team at info@demashow.com.
