Fraudulent Domain - Isccecc.org

[Murray]

Dear Online Abuse Team,

 

Please investigate and suspend the following fraudulent domain: isccecc.org/

 

URL: http://isccecc.org/

 

 

This domain is hosted on your nameservers.

 

PLEASE BEWARE THIS DOMAIN MIGHT CONTAIN A TROJAN.

 

Summary: This site is being used to conduct 419 Internet Advanced Fee Fraud by impersonating the non-existent "3rd International Scientific Conference on Clean Energy and Climate Change" in London, UK. Under this common 419 Fraud ruse (commonly targeting victims from developing countries), fake non-profit organizations offer round trip air transportation to email recipients to attend non-existent international conferences. Email recipients are then asked pay hotel registration fees in advance by money order or bank wire transfer. After fees are paid, the promised round trip airline tickets are never provided.

 

Descriptions of this scam can be found here:

http://www.uia.be/fraud_monitor

 

Reasons why isccecc.org/ is fraudulent:

1. The fake conference's fake sponsor - Working Group on Climate Change - is not listed as an authorized Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in the United Kingdom: http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/index.aspx even though the fake site ( http://isccecc.org/aboutus.htm ) claims to have been founded in 1999. This is evidence of fraud.

 

2. The fake Working Group on Climate Change offers "free" airline tickets: " " here: http://isccecc.org/invitation.htm

 

Registration is free of charge for delegates from developing countries. Also free flight ticket, travel insurance, visa fees and per diem to be provided for all paper presenters and participating delegates.

 

3. Its contact web page ( http://isccecc.org/contactus.htm ) lists the following telephone numbers: +44 702 406 8488 and +44 702 402 0466 as main contact telephone numbers. These telephone numbers resolve to be a personal (non-business) telephone numbers ( http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=phonenr ). A legitimate Non-Governmental Organization sponsoring an international conference would not use personal telephone numbers as main contact telephone numbers. This is an indication of fraud.

 

4. The fake Working Group on Climate Change claims to have been established in 1999 (http://isccecc.0rg/contactus.htm ), however its one year domain registration was very recent (02 January 2012). This is indicative of fraud.

 

5. The fake Working Group on Climate Change ( http://isccecc.org/venue.htm ) claims that its international conference will be held at the (non-existent) Queens London Hotel, 124 Kentish Town Road, London, NW1 9QB. The United Kingdom's Companies House registry of business has no listing of any "Queens London Hotel": http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/toolsToHelp/WCInfo.shtml . This is evidence of fraud.

 

6. The fake website claiming to be the (non-existent) Queens London Hotel at 124 Kentish Town Road, London, NW1 9QB is located here: http://queenslondonhotel.com/index.html This domain is listed in the Artists Against 419's database of fraudulent websites: http://db.aa419.org/fakebanksview.php?key=64681 and has been reported for abuse.
