Beware of Scams

#EVTechExpo

Guidance for Avoiding Event Scams

One of the unfortunate side effects of building a successful event, such as Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo Europe, is that scammers are drawn to it. Scammers target exhibitors pre-event trying to sell non-existent hotel rooms and directory entries, as well as purporting to offer attendee lists.

We take data protection extremely seriously. Details of all participants and attendees for all of our events, including The Battery Show Europe, are never, and will never, be sold or available for purchase. Equally, we would like to reassure our participants that the data we collect from you will never be passed to a third party without your expressed consent.

In the instance that you receive an email from an individual purporting to be a sales agent and offering a list of registered Battery Show Europe attendees, please be aware that this individual is acting fraudulently and will only ever supply a selection of random contacts.

If you receive suspicious communications, contact us immediately on thebatteryshowcs@informa.com.

Remember, we will never sell the data of our visitors or exhibitors. Anyone claiming to have this data is fraudulent.

A list of our official event vendors can be found here.

Top Types of Scams to Look Out For

  1. Emails offering free directory listings.
  2. Emails selling data claiming to be from Battery Show Europe or our partners.
  3. Offers for services like hotel bookings not from B-Network.
  4. Requests for updated banking details via phone or email.
  5. Social media messages asking for favours or impersonating show team members.

How to Stay Safe

  1. Check the sender's email (thebatteryshowcs@informa.com), it could be from a member of the show team. These e-mails will also end with @informa.com.
  2. Confirm if the individual/company is an official partner in the online manual.
  3. Assess the language for any unusual clumsiness or deviation from The Battery Show Europe’s standard tone.
