Mucha atención, circula en internet un Scam con el viejo truco de la organización que te da una beca para participar en un evento, pero al final te pide dinero para enviarlo por Western Union. El correo lo envía de una cuenta "msn.com" y la respuesta la tienes que enviar a una cuenta "gmail.com". Todos los mails enviados provienen de Sudáfrica (IP address 196.25.253.13) y la página referida: "idealworldconcept.org" recién fue registrada hace DOS MESES por alguien llamado "El mago del internet 2008 ("WEB WIZARD2008").

Here's a second version of the spam, with the scam aspect more clearly present: they'll cover the conference fees for you (the bait) except the hotel rooms (the hook). They try to con you into sending money to someone via Western Union on the pretext that it's a hotel booking fee. It's not a hotel: it's the scammer getting his pay-off.

Oh My God. I was shocked when I found out about 30 minutes ago that the IWCO Confrence was a SCAM. I am currently preparing youths to send to the conference.
Thanks to whoever that came up with the blog.spot message and shame you the SCAMMER.
