The Zombie Apocalypse of trade show scam artists continues as NSSF has received word that a so-called “social marketing” company has attempted via email to solicit business from at least one SHOT Show exhibitor. In its email, the company claimed to be “now promoting SHOT Show 2013” on Facebook and other social-media sites and provided a link to the SHOT Show’s official Facebook page, as if they were an official SHOT Show partner.
Please beware. This is a scam. The SHOT Show has no affiliation whatsoever to this company and its oh, too-slick salesman. These people are misrepresenting themselves at our mutual expense—your money and our reputation.
If you are contacted and receive a similar email or phone call, we ask that you please report it to NSSF’s legal department at jyue@nssf.org. And if you ever have any doubt about anyone contacting you on behalf of NSSF or SHOT Show, contact us right away.
Having personally experienced these ‘scambags’ I am pleased to see this alert posted so everyone in the industry can be aware and not be ‘taken’. These guys are SLICK as goose poop on a wet board!!!! Thank you NSSF.
