Scam Targets NZ Trade Fairs
FAIR Guide
In the past few years we have become aware that an online directory called Fairguide have been contacting our exhibitors asking them to "update their free listing details" on our shows.
Please be aware that the fine print of the contract includes a charge of approx US$1531 per year for a period of 3 years.
Please note that we are not associated with and do not endorse those proprietors or others, or that website. We suggest that you make your own decisions and, if appropriate, obtain independent legal advice, before you respond to or deal with those proprietors or others, or that website.
You may also find further information about Fairguide at www.ufi.org/pages/thetradefairsector/fairguide.aspx
StopECG has now published basic advice, primarily be to help those who
have already signed these forms in error - please go to

EXPO Guide
Now it seems another 'directory service', based in Mexico under the name of EXPO-GUIDE is approaching exhibitors with the request to check the accuracy of their listing details and proceed with its update.
Please be aware that the fine print of the contract includes a charge of US$1571 per year for a period of 3 years.
Again, please note that we are not associated with and do not endorse those proprietors or others, or their websites. We suggest that you make your own decisions and, if appropriate, obtain independent legal advice, before you respond to or deal with those proprietors or others, or their websites.
XPO are not affiliated with, nor endorse, either of these websites.
