The basics
What is SummitShield?
SummitShield protects events from people pretending to be them. Exhibitors and attendees can check whether an email, website, phone number or invoice is really from the event, organisers can prove their real emails are genuine, and we find fake websites, leaked lists and scams doing the rounds.
Is it free?
Yes. Every feature is free for event organisers, courtesy of Just Attend.
Does it guarantee my event won’t be scammed?
No. Nobody can promise that. SummitShield is designed to close the gap between a scam starting and people knowing about it, and to make your real communication easy to check. It works best alongside sensible precautions.
Does SummitShield use AI?
Yes, as a second pair of eyes. AI reads every report for the tactics scams and phishing emails use, compares any logo with your real one to catch altered or out-of-date copies, explains what it noticed in plain words, and drafts takedown reports for you to check. It never decides on its own: our own checks make the final call, and anything AI worked out is clearly marked.
Who runs SummitShield?
SummitShield is a product of Just Attend, the trading name of Veronix Limited, a company registered in England and Wales.
How do you protect my data?
We only use what you give us to protect your events, and we never sell it. Our privacy policy explains exactly what we collect and why.
Why don’t you explain exactly how your checks work?
Because scammers read websites too. The less they know about how we catch them, the harder it is for them to get round it.
About the features
How do you find fake websites?
We look every day for new web addresses and pages that look like yours or use your event’s name, plus anything people report to us. We don’t publish the details of how we search, because that would help the people we’re trying to catch.
Do you look for fake event listings as well as websites?
Yes. We search Eventbrite for listings of your event that aren’t yours, and check listings on other free event sites such as Meetup, Luma, AllEvents, 10times, Facebook and LinkedIn events when they turn up in our searches or in reports. Your own listings can be marked as yours, so they’re never flagged.
Do my recipients need an account?
No. They just click the stamp. It opens a simple page that anyone can read on any device.
Which emails should I stamp?
Anything that asks someone to pay, change details, log in or book something: invoices, balance reminders, hotel and travel information, the exhibitor manual and important deadlines.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Quick Stamp is a web app you install from your browser. In Chrome or Edge, press Install; in Safari on a Mac, choose File then Add to Dock; on an iPhone, tap Share then Add to Home Screen; on Android, tap Install app.
Does it cost anything?
No. Like everything else in SummitShield, it’s free.
What can people check?
Emails (forwarded or pasted in), website addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and bank details. They can also tell us about a call or text message.
Do you reply to everyone who forwards something?
We reply to people whose own email address we can confirm, so the service can’t be used to send email to strangers.
Is the private address the same for everyone?
No. Each company has its own, and we don’t publish it. Keep it to yourselves and your email tools.
Does it slow down my email?
No. It’s just one more address in Bcc. Your email goes out exactly as before.
Will the planted contacts look fake?
No. They look like ordinary people at ordinary companies, so they blend into your list.
Where do the planted contacts’ emails go?
To us, privately. We don’t publish how they work, so they can’t be filtered out.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Each step is explained in plain words, and the technical ones come with a ready-written email to send to whoever looks after your domain.
Could this stop my own emails arriving?
Not if you follow the plan. We take you there in stages and only suggest refusing fakes once we can see all your genuine senders.
Will it slow down my website?
No. It’s a tiny piece of code that loads after the page.
Which website builders does it work with?
Any that lets you add a snippet of code: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, HubSpot and custom sites.
Is this a legal letter?
No. We’re not lawyers and don’t provide legal advice. These are abuse reports asking companies to act under their own rules, which is what works.
Who sends the report?
We send it on behalf of your company, after you’ve read it and pressed send. Replies come back to you.
Do other organisers see my emails?
No. We only use what identifies a scam to catch it elsewhere. Nobody sees your messages, your exhibitors or which events were targeted.
How quickly does it work?
As soon as a scam is confirmed, it’s recognised for everyone.
Can people report a text message?
Yes. They can describe a call or a text and include the number, what they were told and what they were asked for.
Do you block scam numbers?
We can’t block calls, but every confirmed scam number is flagged to anyone who checks it, at every event we protect.
