SBC Worldwide Complaints - False conference registration

False conference registration
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 13 votes
Company information:
SBC Worldwide

Phone: (212) 505-9000

Invoice raised for attendance at a conference I had not registered for (and didn't have any knowledge of prior to receiving the invoice). The Invoice was (cunningly) sent to the accounts payable section of the University Finance Office rather than directly to me, and could have been paid but for this office redirecting a query about payment to me directly.

Absolute con!

We have also received an invoice for a conference about Advanced Solar Energy that does not exist. The website is just a one pager landing page. I went looking for details of the conference as our guys knew nothing about it and they do attend a lot of conferences.

I am from Singapore, and have received a similar invoice from sbc worldwide, for a Renewable Energy Summit 2009, for which we did not register for. They even put down the date of the event, and gave us 20% discount for early registration. They also attentioned it to the accounts payable. When l sent emails to enquiry, there was no reply. I called several times and it could not get through too.

We can add to this complaint too, as we received an invoice for delegate registration for an event we had not registered for either. SBC Worldwide appears to be very busy with their 'con' by sending these invoices directly to "Accounts Payable" and again, like others, we received a 20% early registration discount. Luckily we read this article on a 'Google search' for this company and now we have been able to pre-warn others within our University of these rogue invoices.

We have received the same invoice for a conference, addressed to accounts payable. No response to phone calls.

We received a similar invoice for a conference registration we had no idea of. Fortunately because the conference was to be held overseas, it alerted us.

I have received a invoice from them too for a Technology Transfer conference and it even had my name on it. Same as everyone it has been sent to Accounts payable. I tried to lookup who SBC Wordwide is but they have hidden their domain registration information too. SBC Worldwide is a scam company and I hope everyone is able to Google about them before.

One interesting piece of information: The letter in which their invoice came has a stamp of Buffalo, NY.

We had the exact thing happen, SBC Worldwide sent us an invoice to an event in 2009 that we had not signed up for. It was sent directly to the Accounts Payable department!

We will boycott all SBC Worldwide events in the future. This is the most underhanded business practice I've seen in a while.

They sent our company an invoice as well. Has anyone turned them in?

We got one too for Contact Center Technology 2009. Where do we go to turn them in? Anyone know? Better Business Bureau?
