There has been a substantial uptick of emails and calls to attendees and exhibitors fraudulently claiming to have official NJSBA attendee lists for sale. NJSBA does not share or sell the show’s attendee email list nor do we authorize any third parties to sell on our behalf.
This is a nationwide scam impacting trade shows across the country and these scammers are phishing for personal data. These vendors are not associated with NJSBA and anyone who engages with or purchases information from these unauthorized vendors does so at their own risk.
