"International Conference on Racism and Child Abuse" and other conference scams

Occasionally we receive spam announcing international conferences that shows some of the telltale marks of Nigerian 419 spams, such as the use of free webmail accounts or MSN Personal Address domains. The emails inevitably trace to Nigeria or other countries in West Africa, sometimes also to European countries scheduled as the second conference location, but rarely to the country where the organizers claims to be based (which is usually the USA or Canada).

Typically these fake conferences are supposed to take place in two countries, the USA and another country (in Canada, Europe, Africa or the Middle East).

People who sign up for the conferences will be told to contact hotels, which almost always use Yahoo.com addresses. They will be told they can't get a visitor's visa for the US or another conference location without the hotel reservation. When they want to make a reservation they will be told to send cash as a downpayment via Western Union, the classic 419 scam payment modality.

NOTE: Western Union is NOT safe to pay anyone you only know via the Internet. NEVER send money by Western Union to anyone you don't know personally, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Below are some examples of emails from this type of scam.

"UPCOMING YOUTH EVENTS IN USA/ITALY"

The following event is fake. It was announced to collect bogus registration fees from would-be participants. The street address of one of the supposed locations (1800 Pardee Rd, Taylor, MI 48180-6320, USA) does not exist. According to the US Postal Service, zip code 48180-6320 covers the even range of 14300 - 14598 Pardee Rd, but not 1800. There are no listed zip code for street addresses below 5800.

There are two versions of the scam, one message signed by a Florence Cole (see below), the other signed by

Lionel Gracia
Publicity Secretary GYWO
lg@interconrca.org
www.interconrca.org

Both emails are equally bogus. Another version of the scam ran in 2004, see 419eater.com.

The following warning was found on Youthlink.org:

BE CAUTIOUS: Many scams invite people to register for a youth conference, and are meant only to collect registration fees. Please beware and only pay fees when you are certain it is a legitimate event. Common schemes include events taking place in both Guinea-Bissau or other countries and the USA.
These may be scams:
(1) National Awareness Program on HIV/AIDS
Supposedly to be held in Washington DC and London and organized by a Ms. Sophia Loren.
(2) International Youth Health Development Organization Conference (IYHDOC)
Supposedly to be held 9-13 November 2005, in Florida, USA and Madrid, Spain.
(3) International Conference on Racism and Child Abuse - Global Youth Welfare Organization, in USA and Italy, in December 2005.

Here is the scam invitation:

"Coordinator Mr Emmanuel Dickson (Italy)"
Here the criminals demand money by Western Union, the payment method of choice of online scammers. The fax number for their office in Genoa (Genova) lists an 06 area code, which is the area code for Rome (Roma) while the real area code is 010. Conclusion: The postal address is fake, as is just about everything else about this conference...

Compliment of the season, and a happy get-together with Vivan Reagan, I am 25yrs old girl leaving in Tukwila Washington. Let not race or nationality inch your mind, for this has being the key mother of the day. I decided having you as a pen pal friend knowing fully well that is an act of one expressing or sharing view with another or people around the world, which has to do with honesty, above all faithfulness. Freindship is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time. Yes,friends are like stars;some afar and others around,but just need a favourite one.My dear,guess you could make my favorite. Reach me faster for a better talk through :- vivan_reagan4love@yahoo.com My regards to all your folks. Have a blissful moment and do keep in touch. In fact i will be travelling to Africa by MARCH, as a member of the organizing comittee of a combined conferences for RACISM and CHILD ABUSE taking place in the U.S first on the 20th to 23th MARCH,2006 at the Conference Hall Center St Lucie Orlando Florida State. and later in GUINEA-BISSAU(West Africa) on the 26th to 30th MARCH 2006.
Thanks Vivan,U.S.A.

Another email:

Hello,
Thanks for your letter,first let me say compliment of the season to you. Sometimes, life certainly can feel that way.... and what better shelter from the storms and trials of daily life than friendship and to know that there is someone out there you can fall back on. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment they will affect your life in some profound way.And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless-the people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. So if you're seriously looking for a friend to get to know,You have found me. I am glad to meet you too. Like as I have already informed you in my previous letter about my job.I am Living alone at my own apartment given to me by my father. I am the First child of my parents. My parent have three children, two girls and a boy by name DAVID as the Last child, JENNY is second to me .The name of my father's is REAGAN LIN and my mother's name is JULIET REAGAN LIN .My father is an ex- diplomat to the United Nations while my mother is one of the senior personal of US department of education New york. I am single and haven,t marry once. My hobbies are reading,watching movies, listening to soft musics, long driving, swiming and travelling.I hate delay, that is slugglishness and procrastinating, I hate lies. I love some one who is trustworthy and does not smoke nor drink.I love nature and sometimes I wish I owened a house in the country not far from a city.You wake up to fresh mountain air,gaze the green senery,see green veges growing in your little garden and so much more. Kind of boring right? No, imagine I am with my sweetheart in those quite surroundings.well,I leave it to your own imagination what will hapen Some times I am always busy with the job activities during the Refugee resettlement program.I have travelled to many countries arround the globe in our course of visiting some refugee camps in other countries .I will be attending a combined conference in Africa by MARCH 2006. The conference is scheduled to hold in US first and follow by the one in Africa. I am one of the organisers of the forth coming youth combined conferences taking place in the US from MARCH 20th to 23th of MARCH and in Guine-Bissau,West Africa from MARCH 26th to 30th of MARCH,2006. We are inviting five delegates from each the selected countries arround the world. In our request to invite youths from the selected countries, I went in search of e-mail on the website as a means of contacting youths and organisations in these countries . I picked your e-mail from a penpal website. You will assist us in relating to one of the existing youths organisation in your country to contact the conference secretariat in the US through this fax +01-253-648-0430 or through this e- mail, (yworeg2006@florida.usa.com )But before they could be considered for participation in this most esteemed event, their organisation will have to forward to the above address the following requirement. (1) The organisation profile (2) The Aims and Objectives of the organisation (3) Their achievements so far. With this information put into consideration by the organising committee , They will be officially invited to participate in this .Our independent donor will take care of all their flight tickets and their accommodation throught their stay in the US and the organising committee will process the US visa for all participants requiring entry visas to the US . Participants will only take care of their accommodation during the other event in Guine-Bissau. As one of the organisers I knew not of anybody from your country. Hence my writing to you is to gain assess to any youth organisation in your country. If you are interested to participate and wants to represent your country, you should contact the secretary to the organiser for detail information on registration procedures and inform the organiser that I recommended you.You will need not to forward the above requirement for your group or organisation , hence I will give your recommedation to the secretary.You are to contact the organiser as soon as possible as all participants visa request will be forwarded to the US Bureau of Immigrant Affairs for Authorisation the same. Any group visa request not forwarded on that same day will miss the the visa assistance. I am looking forward to seeing you. Please download for my photograph attached to this e-mail.
Thanks,Vivan Reagan.

And this one:

Hello,
May the peace of the lord be open you.
Please like as I have informed you,I have an important part to play as one of the organizers,this has kept me very busy.This is why I can’t communicate you always.I am glad you are progressing.I know that with you as the leader, your group will meet up before the visa processing is forwarded to the US Bureau of Immigrant Affairs.You should handle the issue of your reservation seriously.The US Bureau of immigrant Affairs have asked all participants requiring the US visas for this events, to make their hotel reservation in Guinea-Bissau.This will convince the US Bureau of Immigrant Affairs that all participants attending the US conference will go down to Guinea Bissau after the conference in the US.Without your accommodation in Guinea Bissau the US Bureau of Immigrant Affairs will not authorizes group visas .You must try all possibilities to book your hotel and get the confirmation,and you shall receive your flight tickets at the airline branch office in your country.

Thanks, Vivan U.S.A.

This is another fake conference. Apart from the similarities with other fake conferences, take a look at the address of the US conference. Zip code 93309 is no New York zip code. Anaheim is in California, not New York. Area code 484 is in Pennsylvana, yet another state. Nothing matches up.

The object of the scam is to get would-be participants of the conferences to send cash for the hotel reservations in Guinea to the crooks who run this scam.

Here's an email from the "coordinator". By sheer coincidence ;-) all hotels use Yahoo.com addresses. They were created on 2004-09-08 (linco_hotel@yahoo.com), 2005-06-15 (lincohotel2005@yahoo.com) and 2004-09-04 (olynpic_hotel@yahoo.com). By another remarkable coincidence the email address of the "coordinator" was created the same day as one of the "hotel" addresses: 2005-06-15 (uwo_infoconference@yahoo.com). The age of the fake hotel accounts shows that this scam has been going on for at least 1 1/2 years by now. It involves criminals based in the United States, as demonstrated by the source IP address of the following email and the US phone numbers used in the scam.

Dear Participants,

Thanks for your information there are two approved hotels in Africa , kindly contact them now with the following address below,
linco_hotel@yahoo.com or lincohotel2005@yahoo.com

olynpic_hotel@yahoo.com

Kindly forward the payment reservation confirmation receipt to the conference secretary for your Visa approval from the U,S, Bureau office of the immigration immediately.

The forth coming Conference is being organized and sponsored by the UNICEF, WHO, USAID, UNESCO, FAO, UN and the United Nations Security Councils and wife of the First Ladies of Presidents of the United Nations who are the dependent donors.

When you apply as a group from your country, the Netherland Immigration Services will now believe that you have a motive to come to Netherland.
The Netherlands Immigration Service has asked all participants requiring the Netherlands visa for this event to make their hotel reservation in South Africa. This will convince the Netherland Immigration Service that all participants attending the Netherlands conference will go down to South Africa after the conference in the Netherlands. Without your accommodation reservation in South Africa, the Netherlands Immigration Service will not authorize group visas
You must try all possibilities to book your hotel and get the Confirmation. To Begin with, you have to forward the names of your five delegates and their e-mail as soon as possible.

SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGIES and CHILD LABOR (USA/Guinea-Bissau)

Another set of two fake conferences in two countries. The street address in the email below ("Global
Youths welfare convention Hall, 3074 West Lake Avenue,Peoria City,Illinois State ,U.S.A.") appeared in another fake conference scam three about years ago. Just like in the "UPCOMING YOUTH EVENTS IN USA/ITALY" scam the US street address of the supposed convention center can not be found on any sites on the Internet not connected to the scam, which would be highly unusual for a public place such as a convention center.

The way the phone number is written shows ("01-309-...") is a give-away that the person who sends out these emails is no US resident at all, since the US long distance dialling prefix is simply "1", not "01". The write presumably lives in a country where the long distance prefix is "0" and assumed the "1" to be an area code, like 01 for Lagos/Nigeria from other areas within Nigeria. Also, no American would write "Illinois State" in the postal address instead of just Illinois or IL. The usage "... State" is common for Nigerian addresses however.

Hello !
Hi,It is not my intention to praise myself
but, I just tried to explain my behaviours,
generally am an open minded, religious, mercyful,
loyal, and above all, respect mankind. Currently am
single and am looking for friendship or more. Am
interested in meeting someone with the same
qualities. Peace and love everywhere. Am waiting to
here from you. I'm a friendly, down-to-earth,
non-conformist female,age 26, with a good sense of
humour, who is hoping to make a few new friends
around the globe. I`d love to hear from people with
some what similar interests, I love to hear from
people down there in AFRICA, EUROPE as well as ASIA,
though all are welcome! Ideally, I am looking for
genuine long lasting friendship in which we can be
ourselves. I guess I'm looking for a friend who is
willing not only to share the everyday stuff that
goes on in their lives (both good and bad), but
their thoughts, feelings, and ideas too. I'd like to
think of myself as being very open-minded to varying
opinions and beliefs and have been told by friends
that I'm a good listener. Please, NO prisoners,
chain or religious mail, I do apologize for the
restrictions, but I've had some BAD experiences in
the past. In fact i will be travelling to Africa by
May this year as a member of the organising
comittee of a combined conferences on SUICIDE
PREVENTION STRATEGIES and CHILD LABOR taking place
in the U.S on the 12th---16th May,2006 at the Global
Youths welfare convention Hall, 3074 West Lake
Avenue,Peoria City,Illinois State ,U.S.A. and later
in GUINEA-BISSAU(West Africa) on the 19th---23rd
May, 2006.
Thanks Miss Tina Abraham.
U.S.A

Introduction mail from the secretary of the organizing comittee for the conference:

The email address for the hotels were created on 2004-08-16 (hotel_devasco2004@yahoo.com) and 2004-04-27 (hotelsandomingo@yahoo.com). Like all hotel addresses in these conference scams they are yahoo.com addresses. The address of the organizing comitte was created on 2004-05-01 (icocl11@yahoo.com). The "Tina Abraham" address was created on 2005-08-22 (tina_abraham2004@yahoo.com). See here for more fake hotel email accounts. In total this scam has been going on since at least February 2003.
