PIRATING SCAM ALERT, April 9, 2026 - Please note that NJBankers was informed this morning, that a company going by the name Total Trip Planners (possibly by the name of Eva or Mike) is calling NJBankers guests noting they may not have a hotel room for the Annual Conference at the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans.
This is a pirating scam phone call. NJBankers nor The Ritz-Carlton are in any way associated with this company.
The Ritz-Carlton policy is to never share attendee lists nor solicit guests for credit card information. The only way guests will be asked for a credit card is through the official booking link posted on our website or when you phone the hotel yourself.
Do NOT give any identifying information or your credit card information to this company. Please direct any questions to Jenn Zorn at 908-324-4024 or [email protected].
