A NOTE TO CONFIRMED ATTENDEES

Beware of scams

We have been made aware of a growing number of fraudulent emails being sent to delegates and exhibitors from individuals claiming to be from GHI or partnered with us that offer to sell attendee lists or other services from our events. This is not the case. Please read further advice below.

STAY VIGILANT

Statement from Ground Handling International:

We have been made aware of a growing number of fraudulent emails being sent to delegates and exhibitors from individuals claiming to be from GHI or partnered with us that offer to sell attendee lists or other services from our events.

The scammers may use GHI logos and show branding to appear genuine. They are not! We are not in any way affiliated with these companies and do not release, sell or share any data related to our events to any outside parties.

These companies are fraudulent and target exhibitors participating in events across many different industries.

The scammers may offer you the sale of visitor data lists, directories and hotel bookings. Our advice is to ignore them completely and do not communicate with them in any way.

Your security is important to us, so if you're unsure whether or not an email you have received is fraudulent, please get in touch and we'd be happy to verify it for you.
Advice from the Association of Event Organisers (AEO):

Our advice is to IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY, and do not communicate with them in any way. Writing letters and responding to emails simply confirms that you exist and are available at the address/email address/number they have for you, and therefore payment can be pursued.

What you can do: 
  • Report it to your local trading standards 
  • DO NOT PAY ANYTHING
  • DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE SCAMMERS even when they threaten legal action
