To our followers, a quick PSA!

On many of our posts, especially those dealing with applications, tickets, merchants and such things (maybe even this one now that I’ve typed those words) we inevitably get scam bots commenting as though they are associated with us saying something along the lines of “We still have vendor spots left! Send me a message to get signed up.” These are never associated with us and while we frequently purge the comments and accounts, it is a neverending onslaught and occasionally a few sneak by unnoticed.

To help you avoid falling victim to these scam bots, please take note of the following!

-If we are communicating with you, unless you happen to be a personal friend of one of our committee members, it will be through our Facebook page. (Northwest Viking Market). Link is below. We will also only post merchant announcements and other such news as actual posts, unless replying directly to a comment or message.

-Noting terminology, we use the term “Merchant” rather than “Vendor”. It’s not 100% foolproof, but most scam bots don’t use the term “Merchant”.

-We do not charge for merchant spaces. We charge a refundable $75 deposit for merchants outside of the Northwest Viking Alliance, but no booth fee. If this changes at any point, we will make an official post!

-We have an online application that is only open once we make an announcement. This has to be filled out and we have to approve the application before requesting any deposit. It is available on our website as well as our Facebook page.

Keep these things in mind and stay vigilant!
