They have spammed our abuse contact…

Good morning Andrew,

Thank you. This is scam.

Unfortunately, the events industry does see scammers targeting attendees, exhibitors, and speakers. They try to sell fake attendee lists through emails like this. This scam is is old as "Nigerian princes".

Now, The scammers know that attendees of business events can pay and sell these "pretend" lists for low ammounts.

I have also received this offer at the inboxes of both: AcornDomains and DNForum

I did make a business decission not to have attendee lists in the very beginning (more than 3 years go). The reason: it is so easy to get past Nordic Domain Days and Namescon lists > and I don't want this to be the case with the Domain Summit.

Even it.com Domains (the largest sponsor) doesn't have a list

Have a great weekend! Helmuts

p.s. I plan to publish the app for attendees to start talking to each other next week (before that need to finish the floor plan - always readjusting).
