ICYMI: Phishing Alert – Emails Claiming to Sell TLTA Conference Attendee List Are a Scam – Do Not Click or Reply
TLTA | May 27, 2022
Some TLTA members and conference registrants have reported receiving emails that claim to be selling an attendee list for our upcoming conference (here’s an example):
These emails are a scam. Any links they contain should not be clicked, as they likely open the door to malicious software.
Additionally, these emails should not be replied to. TLTA does not sell conference attendees' contact information, and any info third-parties claim to be TLTA-related is fraudulent.
If you are in the market for B2B marketing help, research vendors by first talking to other industry professionals. Responding to a cold call via email purporting to deliver something that seems too good to be true should be avoided.
As always, if you see something strange that claims to be associated with TLTA, please
share it with us, and we’ll be happy to review and advise you regarding its validity.
