Some members, conference attendees, and exhibitors have been receiving emails from rogue list brokers claiming to have access to an ESSAE conference attendee list for sale.

This scam is afflicting trade shows where exhibitors are contacted by people fraudulently claiming to have and sell the show’s attendee list. Please know that ESSAE does not rent, share, or sell your email or physical address to any third parties or list brokers.

These scammers are trying to phish for your information and gain access to financial resources. The companies have no association with ESSAE or the Annual Conference (or any ESSAE event for that matter).

Scammers offering to sell these lists often aggregate information based on web crawlers or email “scraper” programs searching for the “@” sign in an email addresses posted on various websites (including LinkedIn and Facebook). While this is illegal in most countries, it does not prevent scammers from doing so, so the best way to prevent yourself from receiving these emails is to protect your information, and if at all possible, don’t post your email address online (or post it in an obscured way, such as an image or by not using the “@”) sign.

Please do not engage with and/or acquire/purchase any list from any company claiming to have use of the ESSAE conference database, attendees, or contact information as it puts you and others' contact information at risk. Oftentimes, responding to these emails (even to “unsubscribe”) confirms to them that they have reached a valid email address.

We encourage you instead to block the sender, delete the email, and report scammers to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission fraud division.

Please beware, they often use ESSAE's name and logo in their signature.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience that these spammers cause you — we get these emails too! 

Here are a few examples of this kind of spam:
