Fraudulent domain hosted on your servers - icrecc.com

 

Please investigate and suspend the following fraudulent domain: icrecc.com

 

URL: http://www.icrecc.com/index.htm

 

This domain was registered via your service or is hosted on your servers.

 

Summary: This site is being used to conduct 419 Internet Advanced Fee Fraud by impersonating the non-existent "The 3rd CCWG International Conference on Renewable 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.

 

 

A description of this scam can be found here: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/vie...p?f=40&t=18787

 

 

Reasons why icrecc.com is fraudulent:

 

 

 

1. The fake Climate Change Working Group is not listed as an authorized Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in the United Kingdom: http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/index.aspx This is evidence of fraud.

 

 

2. The fake Climate Change Working Group offers "free" airline tickets: "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" here: http://www.icrecc.com/invitation.htm

 

 

3. Its contact web page ( http://www.icrecc.com/contactus.htm ) lists the following telephone numbers: +44 702 403 9755, +44 702 403 2554, +44 702 402 9706, and +44 702 401 2540 as main contact telephone numbers. These telephone numbers resolve to be personal (non-business) telephone numbers ( http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=...is&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 Climate Change Working Group claims to have been established in 1999 ( http://www.icrecc.com/aboutus.htm ), however its one year domain registration was very recent (20 March 2011). This is indicative of fraud.

 

 

5. The fake Climate Change Working Group ( http://www.icrecc.com/venue.htm ) claims that its international conference will be held at the (non-existent) Park Garden Hotel at the following address: 36 Earls Court Gardens, Earls Court,

London SW5 0TR, England.

 

 

However, the real hotel at this address is the Earls Court Hotel, not the Park Garden Hotel. This is evidence of fraud.

6. The fake Park Garden Hotel website claims to have been established in 1913 ( http://www.parkgardenhotel.com/history.html ), however its one year domain registration was very recent (16 May 2011). This is indicative of fraud.

 

 

7. The fake Climate Change Working Group website is listed in the Artists Against 419's database of fraudulent websites: http://db.aa419.org/fakebanksview.php?key=59052
