Watch for Event-Related Scammers As Coatings + continues, it appears that event-related scammers are back in full force. These scammers utilize publicly available information to portray themselves as AMPP staff or event partners via calls, text messages, and emails. In the event you are contacted by these individuals, we ask that you ignore the inquires and alert an AMPP staff member. Lastly, if you are ever unsure of the validity of a communication, please do not hesitate to reach out to an AMPP staff member. We appreciate your support to help stop these individuals from falsely portraying themselves as AMPP staff members and partners and attempting to defraud members and customers.
Our mission is to advance the corrosion prevention and coatings industry through member and workforce development, technological innovation, and global standardization to protect people, assets, and the environment.
