Although I do make some applications online but I'm not so sure I applied for this.

Lol looks like those "war broke out in my country and i live with a reverend father.. I will need your help to claim my father's savings" kinda scam... The first line from the first email exposes the whole scam.... The visa blah blah is bůllshît... Then the hotel.... Conference in Lagos... Hotel in ibadan/osogbo....

2003 scam

No mind the idiot abeg

Old scam

My dear, the sentence structure used here is both alien to American English and general English grammar rules. Anyway, the scammer's modus operandi is professional, so you may want to give this a try

Londonboyrep:
Lol, stopped reading after ‘hope this finds you in good health..’. Only Nigerians type like that!

You're wrong. Amazon customer representatives write this way. The issue with the above-mentioned sentence is redundancy.

THIS IS NOTHING BUT SCAM. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO PAY SOME OTHER MONEY AS SOON AS YOU BOOK FOR THAT HOTEL. YOU WILL LIKELY HERE THINGS LIKE INSURANCE E.T.C. BEWARE PLSSSS!

"I hope and wish that this mail will find you in good health and spirit."[b][/b]

US official correspondences hardly begins with the above quote from the invitation. That writing above is Nigerian.

Nigerians will write and say, 'I hope and pray that this my mail meets you well'. If you are conversant with Nigerians style of writing, the above is a typical starting way. Oyibo hardly writes this way or ask you how was your night, weekend or family. They go straight to the point. They don't "pray that their mail finds you in good health or state of mind".

I hope and wish that this mail will find you in good health and spirit.

Americans don't write like the above.

This sentence invalidates everything, the structure, the agency mentioned and the message is a Big NO...

Mille:
Sophisticated scam.

RED FLAG

1. The said conference will be in Dallas while the said hotel accomodation will be in Houston. The cities are at least 3 hours apart.

2. Why will a conference even pay for your visa and flight fees? It's normally the other way round.

3. The said hotel has no visible online presence, apart from it's website which I believe was created for the sole purpose of scamming. No reviews or nothing. Big red flag for an hotel said to host conference delegates.

4. The said hotel is missing on google map. The said address of the hotel is actually a residential street.

5. Your visa documents will be processed here in the United States and the approval letter of your visa will be sent to the U.S Embassy in your country for the collection of your visa. . This is the biggest red flag of all.

There is a writing pattern of corporate America. This is definitely not one of them.

Mail written by a Nigerian... shall, immediately....



Lol ... looking for a maga


The hotel website was opened October 2020 .... same day as the conference website

Owner based in Isreal

And for your Brain you Don dey virtualise America dey practice how you go take jappa... nobody is going anywhere, we go suffer for this buharism together

Well since you wanna know, then let me tell you. That's a big scam bro, no us conference organizer process your visa on your behalf, even when you're presenting a paper. The best they can do is get you a letter of invite and a letter of sponsorship if available.

Just to make things easier for you,

Next time you come across such “enticing” offers via email/web/social media

Simply perform a Whois lookup of the domains

E.g

https://who.is/whois/seasidecrystalhotel.com

The look up for the hotel website shows this domain name was bought November 2020

And for the conference, the domain name was bought earlier this year meaning everything started less than a year ago so how exactly did they get your contact?

If it smells like fish, it’s likely to be fishy

The conference is FAKE!!! I got the same email too. The first red flag I noticed was that the conference wasn’t institutional-based or affiliated to any recognized academic or professional organization. I pray some of our colleagues don’t fall victim.

When we hear ‘fully sponsored’, we tend to get carried away with such juicy offers. May God be our guide at all times, it’s not easy�

Are you a tracker?

Risentouch:
Are you a tracker?

You want make I help u track you boo ?

AskProf:
There's nothing sophisticated about the scam.

It's actually a very cheap one.

The intro sentence in the 1st mail is a regular for scam.

I stopped reading after this "I hope and wish that this mail will find you in good health and spirit."

bazzyblings:

Just answer me yes or no?

Risentouch:

This conference invitation, brings back memories, back in the days, Yahoo boys could send spam emails out, inviting people to come to the US for a conference and also in an African country " south Africa" the way they make their monies is for participate to pay some certain some of money for the hotel accommodation in Africa, which is like $80 per night, and most people fell for it.

I am not saying this one is same ooo
