Scam Alert
As online scams become more prevalent, Hal-Con has seen a number of scam groups and emails representing themselves as affiliated or sanctioned by our organization. The scams vary from ticket reseller groups to vendor acceptances and data sellers. The only groups or affiliations associated with Hal-Con are those that come from Hal-Con official channels and social media pages.
If you receive suspicious emails, delete them and block the sender. If they are Facebook or other social media groups, help us in reporting and blocking any individuals or groups that Hal-Con has not officially sanctioned as they are not affiliated with us.
For any doubts, reach out to us at https://hal-con.com/contact to verify legitimacy. As well, before buying a secondhand ticket, always be sure to email tickets@hal-con.com to verify that the individual is a ticket holder.
Important: Giveaway winners will only be contacted directly through our official account, @halcon_scificon, and we will never ask for personal or banking information. We will never DM you from our staff personal accounts and only from official hal-con.com accounts.
