Nigerian scammers scam the global warming scammers.

January 20, 2011 by Syd

Well this is delicious irony reported on the BBC news website…

“Fraudsters are targeting climate scientists with fake conferences in a bid to make cash and obtain details.

Scientists are sent e-mail invitations and directed to a fake conference website – often written using language taken from real scientific meetings.

Typically they are told their travel costs will be refunded – but they have to pay first to reserve a hotel room.

London appears to be their venue of choice…….

One currently live website advertises a conference in February, run by the “Global Warming Volunteer Group” and claiming to “focus on the risks and opportunities posed to society by global warming and… promote the exchange of ideas and learning across the Globe”.

The venue is given as the Crown London Hotel – whose address is the same as the real-life Crowne Plaza…………..”

To learn more click on the link…. Scammers

It makes you admire the nerve of some people wanting their share of the new renewable’s economy.
This certainly deserves the Polar Bear dance of joy.

    Kyttler,

    Get a look at this

    http://www.examiner.com/gun-rights-in-national/breaking-news-grassley-writes-melson-on-project-gunwalker

    It’s US Senator Charles Grassley’s letters to Acting Director Ken Melson of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

    In the first he is asking for a briefing before feb 3rd. on the allegations of ATF facilitating guns crossing the mexican border, one of the guns is alleged to have later been used in the Killing of a US Border Patrol agent.

    In the second he is reminding the acting DG that intimidating whistleblowers and interfering with their first ammendment rights to talk to elected members is a criminal offence.

    Do you think the “Philosopher King” might be interested?because I doubt the WaPo will touch the story.

      As you know if true this is clearly criminal activity but as always the guilty shall go unpunished.

    The map on this should give you a laugh

    I dread to think what a british one would look like and say, though I’ve a good idea where they’d label as sheep sh@ggers.

      Good map.

    You still under the weather?

      A little I’m over the worst.

    We laughed at the weed references in Lord of the Rings

    Seems someone else did too
    Strange how it doesn’t show them getting the munchies though.

    Completely O/T

    There was a much celebrated witch in Kilkenny, called Alice Kittler. There’s a pub named after her. I can’t remember whether she got burned.

    The last witch burning in Ireland (by freckly Irish natives anyway) was well into the 20th century, about 1910 or so, in County Cork. Even the parish priest took part.

      Why does this not get into the history books.

        Damn, I was 15 years out!

        1895

        Here’s a link to the world’s third least reliable source of information:
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Cleary


      • on January 23, 2011 at 8:02 am Luton Ian

        I got the spelling of Alice wrong too.

        It was Alice Kyttler, in Kilkenny, which I guess gives you scope to avoid the censors…

    So it’s a case of ‘the scammers scammed’!


    • on January 22, 2011 at 11:19 pm Kitler

      Exactly.


    • on January 22, 2011 at 11:19 pm Kitler

      Exactly.

    One of my pals is planning to get some big windmills at about £900k a pop.

    I’ve told him that I think the bubble is about to burst, and that with a stroke of a pen, the price premium for “renewble” energy could be gone – perhaps replaced by a bird killer tax.

    I also asked him what the estimated maintenance costs were, and the decommissioning costs at the end of their estimated 20 year life.

    Apparently there is plenty of work for geologists out in the coal mining areas in China. Would that Britain woke up and started building new coal fired powerstations and gas works…

    You beat me to it, I was just about to give you a link to that.

    It has all the irony of Ass[fl]ange (alleged to be one of the worst shags in the world*), bitchin about his associates leaking “HIS” info, that he expected to get paid for, to the news papers…

    In Ass[fl]ange’s case, info wants to be free, for the warmerists, it really makes my day that they’re not the only special# fraudsters out there.

    🙂

    ===========================
    *and that’s from a girl in the feminist’s version of Saudi Arabia – so she’ll likely have plenty experience to compare him against.

    # “special” (special needs – like in the pretenders’ song)
