Warning of a scam from travellerpoint(dot)org and gtravelxperts(dot)com

It was brought to our attention, that unfortunately, someone is using the PBP World Meeting to perform a scam.

Please be careful if you received emails from travellerpoint(dot)org OR gtravelxperts(dot)com (or any other travel agency). The email asks about arrival and departure dates to Vienna and offers a hotel booking form where they later on ask for credit card details.

We are doing all we can to avoid this from happening again.

Please, ignore the emails and do not reply nor click on any link given by them. You can also block the domain on your email client.

Our official emails are all from this website’s domain “@worldmeeting.org” or "@apv-mainz.de". Avoid giving private information to external sources. The only official way to register for the conference is via our homepage. As well to book a hotel is by using our official form which is provided directly from the hotel and should be sent directly to the hotel with website´s domain "@arcotel.com". For further hotels and accommodation we recommend official booking platforms such as booking.com or hrs.com. All these information you can find on our homepage.
