We have not and will not share nor sell any personal data to unauthorised third parties.  We will continue to take serious measures to secure the data protection.
  2. We have no connection with such offers.  We have not provided any data to these unauthorized third parties, neither have we authorised any party to make such offers. 
  3. We examined the available data from the purported attendees list, and they are falsified and fraudulent.  
  4. We will report this fraudulent and illegal offence to law enforcement authority, and we are working closely with our legal advisors to take appropriate actions to continually protect both your and our rights in accordance with applicable laws.
  5. Should you receive any suspicious offers, please do not respond to them.  You may bring them to our attention and/or to law enforcement authority.
