Be safe out there!! 💖
Unfortunately, we’ve seen an increase in scammers pretending to represent vendor shows and events and targeting small business owners.
We hate that we even have to post this, but we want to make sure we’re looking out for our community.
If someone reaches out claiming to be part of an event, here are a few ways to protect yourself:
• Confirm through the official event page or contact
• Don’t send payment without an invoice or contract
• Be cautious of pushy messages or unofficial links
• When in doubt, reach out to the actual event organizer
Let’s keep our small biz community safe and informed. If something feels off, it probably is.
