Beware of Email Scams Offering Attendee Lists
We’ve been alerted that unauthorized third parties are contacting our attendees and exhibitors with offers to purchase attendee or contact lists for the Association of California Symphony Orchestras (ACSO) Conference.
These emails are fraudulent. ACSO does not sell attendee or exhibitor contact lists, and we have not authorized any third party to distribute this information.
If you receive an email from a third-party offering to sell ACSO conference lists or claiming to have access to our attendee database, we strongly advise you to:
- Do not engage or respond to the message.
- Do not click any links or download attachments.
- Mark the message as spam and delete it.
We take the privacy of our members and participants seriously and are actively working to stop these scams. If you have any questions or would like to report a suspicious message, please contact us at conference@acso.org.
