Beware of Attendee List Scams

Every year, exhibitors receive emails from companies claiming to sell the official Groundwater Week attendee list, often including email addresses and other contact information.

These offers are scams.

NGWA does not sell attendee lists to third parties. Any company claiming to have the official Groundwater Week attendee list or representing itself as an authorized seller of attendee data is misrepresenting itself.

How to Spot a Scam

Be cautious if an email:

  • Claims to have the “official” Groundwater Week attendee list.
  • Offers attendee email addresses for sale.
  • Uses urgent language or limited-time discounts.
  • Claims to be working on behalf of NGWA or Groundwater Week.
  • Comes from an unfamiliar company or email domain.
  • Promises access to thousands of attendee contacts.

Protect Your Company

Before responding to any offer:

  1. Verify the company online.
  2. Review the sender’s email address and website carefully.
  3. Search for reviews or complaints about the company.
  4. Be skeptical of unsolicited emails offering attendee data.
  5. Contact NGWA if you are unsure whether an offer is legitimate.

Important Reminder

The only attendee information provided by NGWA is the information made available to exhibitors and sponsors through official Groundwater Week products and services. NGWA does not authorize any third party to sell attendee lists.

If you receive an email offering to sell a Groundwater Week attendee list, we recommend that you delete the message and do not respond.
