We’re starting to see a few scams pop up, unfortunately. Be reminded, that we will only communicate with you through a [chattanoogamarket.com](http://chattanoogamarket.com) email account, NEVER from another account. For example, my email is [melissa@chattanoogamarket.com](mailto:melissa@chattanoogamarket.com). The current scammer is emailing from [eldonscott1959@yahoo.com](mailto:eldonscott1959@yahoo.com)

Scammers are trying to sell booth spaces, etc. If you’re ever in doubt, email us at [help@chattanoogamarket.com](mailto:help@chattanoogamarket.com) to ask!

They definitely would have gotten me! I’ve sent so many emails and left so many messages inquiring about my applications that I would have jumped in with both feet thinking someone had reached back out.

I just received a scam email from a [lilianam8292@gmail.com](mailto:lilianam8292@gmail.com)…it was for the October fest. They are using the banners and everything to seem like they’re legit.

It is crazy that the scammers be scamming like this. :-/
