Convention Scams October 7, 2007
Posted by lfurnews in Furry News.add a comment
We have all seen them at conventions. Fundraisers for artist, furs who have fallen ill, you name it. However, how do you know if they are legit? Do you even really know the person’s real name?
Be sure to know whom you are donating to. Quiz the person before you hand over the cash.
If you are confused where donations for convention fundraisers are being taken, ask a staff member. This will usually be in one designated place and the person will be staff.
When getting something from an artist are vendor make sure you get a proof of purchase at all times.
Lastly, if someone is attempting to get people to give him or her money on behalf of someone else, it is always better to donate money yourself and eliminate the “middle man”.
Staff is there to “protect and serve” if you feel like you are being pressured to give money, contact a staff member.
Planning for Your Next Convention August 14, 2007

Hey everyone, this is BlueOtter, a remote correspondent for LFUR News. Over the past few years, I’ve attended about a dozen conventions, so I thought I’d share some planning and travel tips that I’ve found to save me lots of grief and time when traveling to cons around the country.
Some of these are no-brainers, but as the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If I get some positive feedback on this, I’ll follow up with some at-the-con tips shortly for convention first-timers.
