WARNING
Information on possible frauds against the conference participants, especially related to the accommodation booking
Based on experience from the previous FQMT conferences and other conferences held world-wide in the last years, we would like to warn the participants strongly about possible fraud actions by some suspicious international companies attempting to arrange the accommodation in the Pyramida Hotel .
Repeatedly, certain agencies have used information from the www FQMT pages together with its search on participants by various ways. The agency representatives either called or sent e-mails to the conference participants with the proposal to organize for them a discounted accommodation in the Pyramida Hotel. By phone or by insecure web forms they were also asking for credit card numbers and other participant details. If the participant provided these data, they cancelled his/her original reservation. The representatives also informed convincingly but falsely about the conference program, e.g. about time of participant’s talk.
The organizers therefore strongly recommend to FQMT’24 participants to decline services of any agency which shows the behaviour described above. Do not provide any data to such agencies. Please carefully consider proposals of the organization of your accommodation in the Pyramida Hotel also from any other agency. Only when you use the official FQMT’24 reservation link, the Pyramida Hotel can guarantee trustworthy reservation of the room and the reliable hotel services.
Please read carefully our recommendations below:
We strongly recommend you not to provide any personal data (especially credit card numbers and confirmation e-mails from the FQMT’24 organizers or from the Pyramida Hotel) to any company which would show behaviour like that described above. Please also consider very carefully to inform any other person or company not related to the conference about your intentions and data related to the FQMT’24.
Before the previous FQMT conferences there were even cases when somebody was pretending that she or he was an FQMT organizer and was providing incorrect information on the conference program. To avoid possibility that you will be following advice given you either by phone or by E-mail by some false organizers of the FQMT’24 conference, please, do not take seriously any information, which is not either from Vaclav Spicka (spicka@fzu.cz, Vaclav.spicka@gmail.com) or from the official conference E-mail (fqmt@fzu.cz).
