Concerning the above, IPE issues the following notice:IPE does not collect any fees from companies and suppliers to use IPE's website and the information published within,and does not commission any organization to collect fees on IPE's behalf. Companies and suppliers should be aware that using IPE's name as grounds for collecting fees from companies and suppliers is fraud, and that any such behavior may be reported to public security officials as such. IPE reserves the right to investigate anyone found to be impersonating IPE and to hold them accountable under law.
