Spam: Dr Happy's Terrorism Conference

Fake conferences are a pretty common scam. The criminals send out spam about serious-looking upcoming conferences that don't exist and then rip victims off for travel costs, conference fees and hotel accommodation. This spam about a fake conference about terrorism caught my eye because it comes from the amusingly named (but fake) Dr Happy Wisdom:

The email does actually originate from an IP address in Senegal (41.82.15.40) but then it is routed through a hacked server belonging to the domain bajajcapital.com which is a finance company in India. The compromise email account can be seen in the "From" field.

At best this scam is some sort of financial fraud. At worst, turning up to it could put your life in danger. Avoid.

"California Human Right Foundation CHRF USA" scam email

It's hard to say whether or not this scam is simply a version of the advanced fee fraud (you can come to the conference, but there will be fees and hotel charges), or if the idea is that you go down to Senegal and get kidnapped. In any case, this is a scam send to an email address scraped from the web via a hijacked email account in Indonesia. Similar scams have been seen before. Avoid.

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to participate in a Global Combined conference taking
place from (22ND-25th November 2011) in Atlanta-Georgia, United States of
America at the Hilton Atlanta Conference Center, and from (28th-30th
November2011) in Olympic Stadium Hall Dakar Senegal.

Applicant that are interested and want to represent his/her country should
Contact the conference secretariat via Email :{ csecretaryoffice@aol.com }
{giyf.newoffice@globomail.com } for more details and Information.

Endeavor to inform them that you were invited to participate by (Ms. Regina
Linus). Note that the Organizing Committee is responsible for the air
tickets, visas and lodging accommodation in USA only.

Sincerely Yours,
Ms. Regina Linus.
(regina.linus200@globomail.com)
Of course, there will be "problems" with the Senegal leg which will require a fee payment in advance, and the Atlanta part of the conference will never materialise. If you actually are involved in stopping racism, human trafficking and child abuse then consider just what scumbags these scammers are.

Mail is routed via 41.207.177.16 in Togo from an ADSL subscriber in Dakar (Senegal). Two sample originating IPs are 41.82.79.108 and 41.82.64.163.


Avoid.
