Frequently Asked Questions:
MBendi Directory Entry
The latest scam going to our exhibitors is from MBendi Information Services, Cape Town, South Africa, with the subject heading “MBendi Directory Entry [917185]: National Fiery Foods and Barbecue Show.” DO NOT respond to this solicitation, as it is unrelated to Sunbelt Shows, Inc., which produces the show.
Expo-Guide
You may receive a solicitation from Expo-Guide, using our corporate name and listing “Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show.” The top says you got a free listing, but the fine type at the bottom says that you will be billed $1571 a year for three years. Although www.expo-guide.com does exist, this is a SCAM. The letters originate from Austria and Mexico.
FAIRGuide
It has come to our attention that FAIRGuide, which uses very unfair selling practices, is targeting our exhibitors from previous shows and our upcoming shows.
If you have participated in any of our shows in previous years, or are due to participate in the next National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show, you are likely to be targeted.
You should not sign anything indicating you will become part of an “exhibition directory” that will list your company’s products and services, if the letter is sent to you by FAIRGUIDE or CONSTRUCT DATA VERLAG of Vienna, Austria or tradefairguide/Blue Ark Inc of Japan. Sunbelt Shows, Inc. is not connected to FAIRGuide in any way.
In the fine print of this letter you will find a charge of $851, that will be charged to you annually for a period of three years.
Email Scam
If you receive an email with the below subject lines, don’t be fooled. We do not release our Attendee list and it is not published or printed anywhere.
