At Canada Light Expo, we are committed to protecting our exhibitors and attendees from fraud and misleading practices. Unfortunately, some companies and individuals falsely claim to be affiliated with our event, offering services that may appear legitimate but are in fact scams.
Common Scams to Watch Out For
- False Promises of Attendee Lists
Be cautious of unsolicited emails offering attendee contact lists for sale. These lists are often fake or collected without consent and can violate data privacy laws. - Unauthorized Directory Listings
Companies may send misleading forms that appear to be official exhibitor listing documents. Signing and returning these forms often results in being locked into expensive and non-refundable contracts. - Fake Hotel & Travel Offers
Fraudsters may pose as official travel partners, offering discounted hotel or flight bookings. These offers typically require upfront payment and may result in no actual reservation. - Phishing Communications
Emails or calls pretending to be from event organizers may request payments, invoice confirmations, or sensitive information. These messages often use similar branding or language to mislead recipients.
How to Protect Yourself
- Only Engage with Verified Sources
Confirm any offers, listings, or communications with the Canada Light Expo team directly. - Carefully Check Email Addresses & Documents
Look for inconsistencies in sender details, grammar, or domain names. Legitimate communication will always come from our official email addresses. - Never Share Sensitive Information with Unknown Parties
Do not send credit card, banking, or personal information unless you are certain the request is legitimate. - Report Anything Suspicious
If you receive any questionable emails or phone calls, report them immediately to our team.
Regulatory Protection
Recent regulations empower authorities to take legal action against impersonators targeting legitimate business events. Staying alert and informed is your best defense.
