ALERT TO EXHIBITORS

Expo-Guide Is on The Prowl For Unsuspecting Show Exhibitors

INTERPHEX organizers have learned of a scam running out of Mexico that is targeting show exhibitors by using the INTERPHEX name and trademark. The company Commercial Online Manuals is sending solicitations to show exhibitors to advertise in its Expo-Guide. The scam is almost identical to the FAIR Guide operated by Construct Data Publishers Verlag AG and is intent on misleading show exhibitors into believing that the solicitation is associated with INTERPHEX - it is NOT! Furthermore, exhibitors can easily be tricked into placing a directory listing in the Expo-Guide believing it in all cases will be "FREE." However, by signing the form exhibitors will actually be entering into a three-year, irrevocable agreement requiring them to pay a significant amount of money with no foreseeable benefits.

INTERPHEX DOES NOT SUPPORT THE EXPO-GUIDE! Commercial Online Manuals and its directory Expo-Guide are not associated with, or endorsed by INTERPHEX organizers. Furthermore, the use of the INTERPHEX name and trademark by Commercial Online Manuals in its solicitations is unauthorized.

INTERPHEX strongly warns exhibitors to exercise extreme caution with respect to solicitations by Commercial Online Manuals and any other suspicious third-party offers in order to avoid unwarranted and/or unnecessary financial commitments.
