The Recycler received letters sent out to exhibitors falsely requesting details for the Paperworld Middle East event next March.
The letters are once again being sent by Mexico-based company Expo-Guide to those who have exhibited at Remanexpo events, asking them to validate and update their company details in a bid to scam them out of thousands of pounds.
Signed by Oscar Guerrero, the letter states that “the update of your already existing entry in the exhibitor directory is essential to guarantee problem-free communication to all visitors seeking contact with your company and ensure that only accurate data are published”.
The letter also states that it was “Organised by: Messe Frankfurt”, which is not the case, and Expo-Guide has no affiliation with Messe Frankfurt. The company has been operating for many years and regularly targets thousands of companies worldwide.
The Recycler has reported on the scam for the past few years, in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and earlier this year.
