As part of those offers, these fraudulent companies have been providing its potential customers with letters purporting to have been sent to it by the FIA to confirm the allocation of hospitality passes in the names of Privè Global Events’ or Informa Hospitality Group’ customers. Those letters can feature the FIA’s name and logo, alongside the names of bona fide FIA staff members, of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship and F1 logo.

However, Privè Global Events and Informa Hospitality Group are not authorised by the FIA (or any of its affiliated entities) to sell hospitality package tickets to Grand Prix. The letters that these companies have been providing to its potential customers were not sent by the FIA or any authorised entities. Accordingly, any representation from these companies relating to the FIA should be ignored.
