SCAM ALERT

In past years, we have received information on at least one company passing themselves off as either representing canfitpro or acting on our behalf. If anyone reaches out to you in an attempt to sell something (databases, hotel rooms, travel solutions, etc.), they are NOT connected to canfitpro.

canfitpro does not sell contact lists, and if we ever partnered with another organization, we would introduce you to them through an email originating from canfitpro. Should you be approached by a suspicious individual or company, please let us know so we can take the appropriate action.

Thank you,
