    BEWARE - Exhibition Con Artists
    They Call and talk you through 'securing' a booth for a show that is sold out but they've managed to make room for your booth - absolute lies. They walk you through a form in Docusign where they reassure you over and over that you are just confirming your company information and what booth you are looking for. 'Just make sure everything looks correct and then select the SIGN HERE button at the bottom.' Once the button is selected, the file closes. Within one day you start receiving a bombardment of emails and calls demanding payment in full. Confused, you try to find any information on what is going on. The booth form now shows information that was added after you signed - FALSIFIED DOCUMENTATION AND SIGNATURE FORGERY. Suddenly there are payment due dates for the very next day after you've reviewed this document. There's also an entirely new second page with unreasonable terms and conditions. You're not crazy, YOU NEVER SAW THIS OR SIGNED FOR IT. The signature is forged as it is not a verified, docusign signature. It does not go through the multi-step process of a Docusign signature and therefore is forged. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE CRIMINALS. Prysm Group, Fortem Flood, Fortem-International, Fortem NDE, Fortem Food, Fortem Drink, Fortem ET, Fortem White Label, etc etc.

    If I could give negative stars, I would! Where do I even start? I was reached out to participate in the White Label Expo 2023. I was quite excited to participate. After I paid my first invoice, it was disaster after disaster. I had 4-5 account managers come & go and one worse than the other. There was absolutely no communication about what needs to be done and shouldn't do. I was promised "match-making service" with other retailers, businesses who may be interested in this service. I promise, NONE of this happened. They also promised a crowd of 45,000 and I'm not even kidding, there were MANY businesses that did not even show up!! There were empty booths and I have a strong feeling as to why.
    Towards the end, another account manager reached out to us, who was actually helpful, until he wasn't. Even before the White Label Expo in Las Vegas started, this rep reached out asking if I would be interested for the same event in 2024. I told him, I wouldn't know until after this event. Over the call, I was pressured into signing a "contract", to just secure a spot (the best spot) and if I wasn't interested, I could always cancel within the 2 weeks period. I canceled over the phone but internally they didn't cancel it. I then kept getting badgered to pay my invoices by this "credit control manager" Simon ******. The absolute worse human being, who has zero empathy and customer service skills.
    Not surprised that this is a 100% fraudulent company that focuses on small businesses to guilt trap them into paying ridiculous amount of money, because they canceled and don't want to participate anymore. They are making money by scamming & threatening small businesses to pay up.
    Please do NOT pay any money if they threaten you. That's what they do. They will also threaten to send you to 3rd party collection agency. Please report them to Nevada & your state of residence's Attorney General Office.

    I felt very rushed into signing a DocuSign contract and unfortunately, business was slower than expected and I could not afford the trip and exhibitor space anymore. The 50% cancellation fee is a little high, in my opinion, especially when cancelled 11 months prior to the expo. I will not do business with Fortem International again.
