Attention convention attendees:
Please be aware that many conventions are seeing a tremendously increased number of foreign scammers attempting to con people looking for hotel rooms lately. Use extreme caution when interacting with strangers whom you have never met if you are searching for hotel rooms.
Pay particular attention to these red flags:
• No account username
• Few profile pictures, or lack thereof
• Multiple profile pictures uploaded in quick succession
• Broken English and improper grammar
• Under-usage or over-usage of furry terminology
• Obviously stolen artwork (cropped low quality images, well-known art pieces, etc)
Never pay for a room with cryptocurrency, wire transfer, gift cards, or similar methods. Be extremely cautious of any requests for advance payment, especially "deposits" or "confirmation payments".
If anything seems off, it is better to play it safe and look elsewhere.
