Exhibitor SPAM Alert
BUILDEX Vancouver has learned from several exhibitors and attendees that they are receiving scam emails offering attendee lists for purchase. Please be aware that these offers are fraudulent. We do not sell or release data and have strict policies around data protection at Informa. These scammers have no relationship with BUILDEX Vancouver or Informa, and they do NOT have the data they are attempting to sell.
Additionally, we have been made aware that exhibitors and past participants have received letters that appear to come from Informa/BUILDEX Vancouver but are actually from the International Fairs Directory. The letter asks exhibitors to confirm or update their company information to be displayed in their listing in a directory. Once returned, they attempt to invoice you for the listing. Informa/BUILDEX Vancouver is in no way affiliated with the International Fairs Directory—please do not respond to these inquiries.
Please note that BUILDEX/INFORMA will NEVER ask for payment via e-transfer.
We continually work with our Show Management and legal teams to send the spammers cease and desist letters; however, they are persistent and continue to send emails under different addresses and aliases. If you receive one of these emails, please BLOCK and MARK AS SPAM in your inbox, and forward the email to spam@fightspam.gc.ca to report it.
