Dear Friends in the climate community.
Lee Schipper and I are writing to alert you about a group of criminals who
have been targeting the climate and environmental communities through email
messages announcing fake conferences.
The most recent of these scams is an email (which has NOT been circulated on
our lists) announcing the following "event":
Global Warming Conference Invitation
Fake> This is to announce the call for papers for the Global Warming
Volunteer Group Conference
Fake> & Expo 11(GWVG Conference & Expo 11), 4th - 8th February 2011 at Crown
London
Fake> Hotel, 45-51 Buckingham Gate London, SW1E 6AF United Kingdom.
The scam offers free airfare, but asks you to submit a deposit for your
hotel or registration, usually by a Western Union money transfer, whose
recipient cannot be traced.
These scams are very sophisticated, using all of the buzz-words found in
legitimate conference announcements:
GWVG Conference & Expo 11 welcomes conceptual and research-based papers
covering sustainable innovation, technology, product and service design and
development. Papers focused on low carbon solutions and sustainable
innovation related to the following topics are particularly welcomed:
. Global Warming and Climate Change and the Oceans
. Sustainable Environment, Health and Development
. Remote Sensing and Global Surveillance
. Water Resources Management
. Carbon & GHG Management
Some of the scam emails claim association with the United Nations. Some
versions of this scam include links to fake websites that have copied the
web sites of legitimate organizations. IISD has recently been successful in
closing down two fake websites in the last three weeks that had content
stolen from our sites.
The fact that the scam continues shows that a few people fall for it each
time.
Do not respond to these emails. Do not send in any papers, personal
information, banking details, etc. Do not wire money.
If you receive an offer by email that seems too good to be true, it probably
is!
