Our Investigation Analysist:
Here are a few of the reasons that these sites are fraud:
- No such organization exists in the USA.
- These sites are run by the same conference scammers that CDS Bureau reported in its previous posts.
- These domains are registered this year.
- Website contains profile of fake people.
- Their number is a VOIP number and can be any where in the world.
- No conference organization in USA can process visa papers for anyone.
- Scammers ask the conference participants to book a fraud hotel that does not exist in the USA. It is not on Expedia or any other travel site.
They are fraud stay away from them and don’t provide your personal information. They can misuse that in other scam. Never share your passport information or anything with them.

Invited to a conference at the so colled Grand Ivory Hotel from August 9 to 14, 2021 in Dallas, Texas, provided we pay in advance and in cash (Moneygram) the hotel bill for 7 nights. The travel tickets are supposed to be paid by some imaginary sponsors after we pay first the hotel! In reviewing the hotel and the organizers emails, I concluded that this is a flagrant fraud at a large scale by the so called Global Health and Social Rights Foundation (GHSRF). Please report urgently this fraud to the concerned authorities. Thank you.
