Warning: Fraudulent emails and letters
FHI regularly receives messages from exhibitors in response to letters and e-mails they receive from trade fair catalogues, providers of visitor databases, publishers and travel agents. Various companies often write to exhibitors in English with an offer or a request for verification. Common e-mails are offers and/or invoices for inclusion in (online) guides and trade fair catalogues or for booking hotel rooms. In addition, the company World Business Guide asks companies to provide their details for what appears to be free advertising placement. Stardatate CRM Leads offers a visitor database. This concerns the following companies:
- Emails from the domains: tradeshowads.com and rethinks.tech
- Emails from VitalShows(.com)
