scam warning

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: BEWARE OF THIRD-PARTY HOTEL, UNAUTHORISED SUPPLIER & LIST SCAMS!

Please be aware that events, including ReThink HK, have been the target of groups trying to take advantage of event partners, sponsors and exhibitors by offering all types of services. 

The phone and email solicitations include hotel offerings, attendee list rental and lead generation services.  Scammers do an excellent job of making themselves look like an approved vendor or employee of ReThink HK.   

Please note:
ReThink HK and its official vendors do not sell attendee lists.  Please be vigilant when solicited for services from third parties.  Our official vendors will be detailed in our Event Set-up Guide and our team members are listed here. If you have any questions, check with us before contracting for any services.

If you fall victim to one of these scams:

Our advice is to IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY, and do not communicate with them in any way. Writing letters and responding to emails simply confirms that you exist and are available at the address/email address/number they have for you, and therefore payment can be pursued.

– ALERT the organiser of your event
– Report it to your local trading standards
– DO NOT PAY ANYTHING
– DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE SCAMMERS even when they threaten legal action

Optional: Complain to the receiving bank that their client is obtaining money by deception.

These organisations have also been known to use debt recovery agencies and aggressive communications to individuals, the same advice stands for these agencies. Do not engage with them they will eventually stop.
