Teachers, researchers duped by fake conferences run from India
The titles of the conferences are well-thought-out and timely. The names of the organizing bodies are also attractive. The websites of these organizations are well-designed and professional, making it easy for anyone to believe that they are legitimate international research institutions or organizations. However, in reality, these sites are traps set by an organized fraud network. Every year, they list nearly a hundred conferences on their websites, collecting conference fees and defrauding participants out of hundreds of dollars. This organized group operates through almost 20 different websites under various names. According to Views Bangladesh's investigation, the group is being run from India. Members of this scam network are spread across several countries. The investigation also found evidence that a Bangladeshi citizen is involved with this fraudulent group. One of the scammers' websites, “Sciencesociety.co”has the profile of a Bangladeshi individual who works as a faculty member at a private university.
