What exhibition?
Very few things shock me, I have to admit. My eyes and
ears have witnessed and heard a lot during my 44 years
and I am a firm believer in the saying ‘believe only half of
what you see and nothing that you hear’.
But I was left amazed by the lengths that Chinese
‘company’ Copex Global went to trying to take cash from
wire and cable companies for a fake exhibition.
Whilst giving publicity to such companies is not
something I particularly enjoy, it has to be done to
prevent people and companies from parting with money
for nothing in return. Our story on p9 goes into the full
details but it is easy to understand how some people are
duped into believing these very simple scams.
The people behind the ‘company’ concerned were
incredibly forthcoming. Having seen their promotional
literature – bearing our logo without our permission – and
listing a veritable who’s who of the industry as speakers,
it is easy to see how you can be taken in.
A flurry of emails after we had been alerted to this were
all answered. Indeed, after an apology was issued to us
we were asked if we would like to support the event!
I made a number of telephone calls to Shanghai. None of
my questions were answered but my calls were returned
time after time.
And that included a call after I had spoken to the hotel in
Shanghai where the event was supposedly happening.
They had, of course, no record of such an event.
There was no attempt to avoid talking to me, as I had
expected. Finally an apology was sent saying sorry for
using our name as media
partner, and then a further
email informing us that the
event had been cancelled.
If only they showed a tenth of
that enthusiasm in running a
legitimate business. . . just
imagine the results.
