# Avoiding Scams

> Beware of common fraudulant tactics.

<Warning>
  We anticipate that partners will receive unsolicited emails or phone calls from companies falsely offering to sell contact information, hotel booking services, or exhibitor/attendee lists for FlightSimExpo. **This is a common scam that affects nearly every event.** Some fraudulent emails even use the FlightSimExpo logo illegally.
</Warning>

We take great care in protecting the contact information you provide to us and do not share it with third parties, except:

1. Through the FlightSimExpo Partner Directory, if you opt in.
2. With Demers Events & Expo Services, our show services partner. They may contact you with questions about your shipping plans or add-on orders.

Otherwise, **all legitimate communication will come directly from the FlightSimExpo team with an `@flightsimassociation.com` or `@flightsimexpo.com` email address.**

<Card title="What to Do" icon="circle-check">
  Emails and phone calls about FlightSimExpo from anyone other than our team or Demers Events & Expo Services are fraudulent and should be ignored. Mark them as spam and/or report them.

  **We will never call you unsolicited to request credit card or other financial information.**
