Invitation: United Nations Global Summit 15-18 March, 2011 @ London, United Kingdom.
Ok folks – I can see from the comments this post has been receiving that I need to make this one easy for you – so here goes.
IT’S A SCAM
It’s been a while since I received a scam conference invitation. This one was forwarded to me by a reader of this blog.
There is no conference. That email address (booking@thehydeparkhotelslondon.net) has been set up just for this scam. If you look at “thehydeparkhotelslondon.net” there is no website there.
All this scammer wants to do is take money from you by charging you fees. Just ignore him or her.

The previous comment helps you understand how the scam works. The REAL domain name for the REAL Royal Garden Hotel is royalgardenhotel.co.uk
The domain associated with the booking email (royalgardens-hotel.com) was registered in June 2011. Notice that it ISN’T the domain of the real hotel. If you make the mistake of emailing this address to book, the scammer will ask you to send money for a fake booking.
Likewise, the domain associated with the registration and visa application email (un-events.org) was registered in July 2011. I imagine the scammer will ask you for money for your fake visa application too.
August 13, 2011 @ 6:04 pm
Why you don’t understand guys?
Rosetree says that they are just scams. It means that there exists no conference at all. If you ganna loose your money, give it to me, I’ll accept your money for an unreal conference!
Another question, you have invited to participate in a conference. What about your paper? What you gonna present there in the conference!? You just wanna attend there? 🙂

@ sachin – did you read the previous comment and this post?
I’m at a loss to understand why people visit a blog about SCAMS, read a post that says something is a SCAM and then, apparently, volunteer to be taken in by scammers!!!!!
March 3, 2011 @ 9:35 pm
i am also interested to submit paper regarding the topics. please sent me more information regarding this.. i am a individual participant fronm INDIA..
March 2, 2011 @ 5:13 pm
@ Brian. I’m not sure I understand why you want to send 2 colleagues to a scam conference (unless you don’t like them very much!). I’m guessing the associated website has been shut down by its web host.
March 2, 2011 @ 1:41 pm
Dear Sir/Madam:
I requested that 2 colleagues attend this summit several weeks ago. To date I have not received any information on the summit I have sent a message to the following email address & no reply: unwfec@conference-un.org
Please advise: Many thanks. Brian
