WCEIT2012 - a real conference?
Hi, Has anyone of you received an invitation to WCEIT2012 "Emerging infotech" conference taking place in China, at the end of August. Or have you heard about the conference at all? During the past two months, I have received some emails from "Mavis", "Hailey3@" etc. inviting me to give a speech (no one invites a PhD students to give a speech) and paying the registration fee of about 1500 dollars. These emails have been sent automatically and they call me by my name. Here's the website: http://www.bitconferences.com/wceit2012/ Maria

I've received so much spam asking me to submit to conferences and journals that are obvious scams that I've given up trying to keep track. This sounds like one of them as I remember receiving one recently that had the novelty of asking me to submit either a conference paper or a speech. Kevin

No - don't submit to it. I've received emails from "wendy" inviting me to present a paper at a conference in Dalian, China, and the conference URL was the same bitconferences.com link. They include a paper I've already published by name in the invitation - they want me to present that paper, even though most legitimate conferences I've seen don't want you to present work you've already presented or published elsewhere. I've tried unsubscribing from their email list 3 time with no success. Wendy keeps emailing... On a related point, if you haven't seen this list of predatory open access journals, you should give it a look. It's maintained by a librarian at U.
