People have copied this website and impersonated us in email in order to take money and personal information from artists. Nothing on this page is hypothetical — it has happened to artists who applied to our fair. Here is how to tell the difference.
If you remember one thing
We collect booth payments only through get-in.com. We will never send you a PayPal invoice.
If a message asks you for any of the above, it is not from us — no matter how closely it copies our logo, our wording, or our website.
01
A fake reads artfairtampa.co, art-fairtampa.com, or artfairtampa-apply.com. On a phone the address bar truncates the URL — tap it to see the whole thing before you type anything in.
02
Approved artists pay through get-in.com and nowhere else. If a message routes you to any other payment page, or attaches an invoice, it did not come from us.
03
Forward the message to tyler@artfairtampa.com before you pay or enter anything. We would much rather answer a question about a real email than help after a fake one.
Email tyler@artfairtampa.com with the message or the web address you were sent to. Forward the original email if you still have it — the hidden header information helps us get the fake taken down faster.
If you have already sent money, contact your bank or card issuer immediately and report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Telling us as well helps us warn every other artist on our list.
