List Seller Scams – Warning
As with many large exhibitions and large conferences, fraudulent emails can circulate claiming to have complete lists of participants for the UITP Summit.
UITP does not share or re-sell data to any third parties for such purposes.
Such emails can be very convincing and sometimes can claim to be from UITP.
We encourage you to either block the sender or report the email to your IT service.
