We would like to warn our exhibitors about an Austrian company
who have for some time been contacting UK businesses and trying to
lock them into an expensive three year listings deal under the
guise of working with UK exhibition organisers. Exhibitors have
also recently received mailings from Expo-Guide in Mexico, who
operate in an almost identical fashion and could well be connected.
For more information please go to http://www.stopecg.org/expo-guide.htm.
'Fair Guide' is in no way connected to Brintex or any of
our events, and we urge you to ignore any correspondence you might
receive from them.
A series of articles is available for you to read through if you
believe you have already been duped.
