    Why do I continually get these scam requests? I am not an exhibitor. Does APA provide this info to outside requests? If I wanted this list (I do not) will APA provide it to me as a Member? 6,841 Registrants? Ha.

    Greetings Exhibitor,

    I'm reaching out to see if you're interested in the attendee information for APA International Personalization Expo 2025, happening 04 - 07 Feb 2025 at the Horseshoe Las Vegas, Las Vegas, USA.

    The list includes contact details for 6,841 registrants...


    Thanks & Regards,
    Carol morgan

    Hi Bryant,

    Thank you for sharing this. Carol Morgan is not affiliated with APA, please use extreme caution and do not engage with anyone claiming to offer registration lists for the APA Expo. I would recommend deleting the email immediately.

    APA does not share any registration data with non-exhibitors, nor do we offer or otherwise sell that information externally. 

    If you have any other questions on this, please let us know.

    Hi Bryant, 

    As an exhibitor, I get emails like this all the time leading up to the Expo along with the emails claiming to offer lower rates and I delete them immediately. We'll also get lots of calls from travel companies offering us lower room rates too.

    Hi Bryant,

    The same for me! They have no connection to the APA and I always mark it spam, report it then delete the email. It really stinks that this happens.

    This and dozens more like them, daily. From everything I read, it just getting started with AI. Be vigilant.
