Solutions
Real situations, sorted in seconds
Here’s what SummitShield looks like day to day, for you and for the people who come to your events. Then pick the scam that worries you most.
Scenario 1
“This invoice looks odd.” Forward it.
An exhibitor gets a balance invoice with new bank details. They forward it to your event’s check address. Seconds later they’re told it isn’t from you and not to pay. You see it in your Messages, already handled.
The check addressScenario 2
“Is this hotel offer really yours?” Ask.
An attendee is offered cheap rooms by phone. They put the number into your check page: not yours, and here’s your official housing partner instead. No email to you, no waiting, no money lost.
Try an example check pageScenario 3
Sending invoices? Stamp them first.
Your accounts team makes a stamp, pastes it under the signature and sends the invoices with SummitShield copied in. Every exhibitor can click the stamp and see the real thing. A scammer’s copy is flagged the moment someone checks it.
Email stampsScenario 4
Sharing a list? Plant a contact in it.
Before the rooming list goes to three hotels, you add a different planted contact to each copy. Months later, one of them gets a “delegate rooms” offer. Now you know which copy leaked, and exactly what your attendees are about to receive.
Planted contacts| Name | Company | |
|---|---|---|
| Ama Mensah | Northlight | ama@northlight… |
| Tom Reilly | Kestrel AV | tom@kestrelav… |
| Priya Sharma | Vale Studio | priya@… |
| Jon Hughes | Fabrik | jon@fabrik… |
Scenario 5
Big announcement? Copy us in.
You email every exhibitor about a change of build-up times, with your private SummitShield address in Bcc. When nervous exhibitors forward it to check, they’re told straight away it’s genuine. Nobody rings the office.
Genuine email recordScenario 6
A copycat site goes up. You know by breakfast.
A ticket site appears with a name one letter different from yours. It’s on your Fake websites list with a screenshot the next morning. You mark it as a scam on your phone, and the evidence pack and reports are ready to send.
