The conference scam

I haven't seen this one yet, but it has all the hallmarks of a scam:

PARTICIPATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND UNITED KINGDOM EVENTS OF (IWCO) 


Greetings, 



We at Ideal World Concept Organization (IWCO) send our warm greetings to our entire

members worldwide. And with great enthusiasm, we wish to invite groups, youths, women

and youth focused organizations to be part of our forthcoming combined international
conference on child labour, abuse and neglect taking place in the United States and the
United Kingdom respectively. The combined conferences are of two segments.



The first segment shall commence in Andalusia, Alabama USA on 16th till 19th June, 2009.The venue is BLUE LAKE AUDITORIUM, 8569 Oakwood lane, Andalusia, Alabama 36241, USA.



The second segment shall take place in London from 22nd till 25th June, 2009 at FLOSSIES CONFERENCE CENTRE Station Road, East Tisted, Near Alton, Hampshire, GU34 3QP, United Kingdom.



THE OBJECTIVES:



1. To discuss the root causes of child labour, abuse and neglect in order to help in
eradicating these social ills.

2. To re-educate and enlighten the youths and adults about these social vices and
also promote community organizing as a tool to re-connect people to each other with
a common goal of building safe, supportive and good communities.

3. To create spaces for the youths of the world to acquire the power of collective action,
critical dialogue and community organizing to undermine child labour, abuse and neglect.

4. To equip the youth and adult participants with vital tools and know-how.
This will aid them in conducting such workshops amongst youths and women in their various
countries.



We have noticed that this is an incredible means of interacting with different organizations
of the world on a particular issue as it affects youths, women and adults. Moreover, funding may
be provided for individuals from qualifying organizations. Provisions have been made for
all delegates to this event, all round tickets, feeding and accommodation in USA by our sponsors.
Please note that all delegates will take care of their feeding and accommodation in the UK as the resources of (IWCO) do not cover that.



CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION:



Only groups with member delegates between the numbers of five (5) minimum and ten (10) maximum selected would be allowed to participate from each of the selected countries. Also individuals who do not belong to any of the organizations but are sincerely interested to participate should form a group of at least five and then apply as group. Please note that all participants MUST be part of the two segments (U.S.A. and U.K.) or their registration forms will not be processed by the IWCO secretariat.



MODE OF APPLICATION:



Interested organizations should forward the following information about their organization.

1. Aims and objectives of their organization.
2. Organization profile.
3. Achievements so far.

N.B. Intending participants are expected to direct their responses to the coordinator Wilson Divine at willsondivine.iwco@gmail.com for more details. The deadline for application is as set by the Organizing Committee of (IWCO). Also note that (IWCO) will only respond and attend to the applications forward to the above contact email address. 

Yours Faithfully,



WILSON DIVINE.

This text looks like a copy from the ICO web site
This web site about ICO looks also a bit funny, could find any information that this is a legitimate NGO.

In any case, there are a lot of similar conference frauds listed here.
