SCAMMERS THAT OFFER THE FOLLOWING DO NOT HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH AWE AND DO NOT HAVE THE DATA THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO SELL.
1) Fraudulent IGS Attendee List offer Scam
IGS is a permission-based email sender. We do not share, rent, or sell our email lists.

We urge you to make certain you are completing only legitimate forms from the organizers of any exhibition in which you are participating.

Be on alert for fraudsters that are sending emails from "RESERVATION TEAM" and "HOTEL RESERVATION" by the email addresses marketing@exhibitsandhotelbooking.com, expo-keys.com, rooms@expokeybooking.com, and rooms@reservationcenter.online and others. They have contacted attendees and exhibitors claiming to be representatives of IGS able to obtain discounted hotel rooms.
