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