NECANN Cannabis Expo Exhibitor Alert: Fraudulent Service Solicitations

NECANN exhibitors (and pretty much every other cannabis convention exhibitors) have been targeted by non-authorized groups making phone and e-mail solicitations offering services like fake hotel & travel reservations, and access to exhibitor contact lists, and attendee lists.

NECANN DOES NOT sell its exhibitor or attendee lists and these companies are NOT affiliated with us in any way.
