Stay Safe from Email Scams

We want to make sure everyone has a great—and safe—experience at The Pool & Spa Show. Unfortunately, scammers target events like ours by posing as official vendors or partners.

Review the list of our Official Show Partners.

Smart Tips to Stay Scam-Free

Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself and your team.

  • Only trust emails from official @thepoolspashow.com or @nespapool.org addresses.
  • Always use links found on our website for hotel bookings or exhibitor resources.
  • Never share financial or personal information unless you’re sure of the source.
  • When in doubt, call us: 609-689-9111

⚠️ Hotel Booking Scams

Some companies are falsely claiming to be our official hotel provider. These groups may email or call you offering “special” rates or pressuring you to book rooms through them. Do not engage with them.

The Facts

  • AC Central is the only official hotel broker for the Show.
  • You will not be contacted directly by AC Central by phone or email.
  • All legitimate hotel booking information will come directly from Show Management.
  • The only way to book within the official room block is through the reservation link on our website.

⚠️ Fake Attendee List Sales

Scammers may email you claiming to have access to past or current Show attendee lists. These offers are 100% fraudulent.

What You Should Know

  • We do not sell our attendee list to third-party vendors.
  • Exhibitors will receive:
    • A pre-Show contact list sent by Show Management.
    • A complete post-Show list after the event.
  • If a company claims to have our list, it’s a scam—even if they use our logo or branding.

⚠️ Email Spoofing & Phishing

Scammers sometimes send emails that appear to come from NESPA or The Pool & Spa Show. These messages may ask you to click suspicious links or send payments through platforms like Zelle or wire transfers.

If You Receive a Suspicious Email

  • Do not click any links or attachments.
  • Delete the message immediately.
  • Notify your team so they are aware of the threat.
  • Contact us directly at 609-689-9111 if you have concerns.

Questions or Concerns?

If something feels suspicious, trust your instincts and contact Show Management directly before responding or making any payments.
