Beware - Scam Invitation to Conference

I was at first thrilled when I received an email regarding an invitation to a Youth Conference in America. Wait a minute! Something is wrong here! First, at 53 years and 24 days old, I certainly do not belong to the category of "youths". I think this email must have been sent at random to everyone around the globe. I am writing this article in my blog to warn my readers.

An innocent reader might be conned by this attractive offer. I have been to Disneyland three times before, and certainly will not accept the offer even if it were true. I would prefer someone younger to go instead. Since the money has been kindly donated by the public, should they not be stringent in selecting the right young men and women for the conference? People of calbire and leadership?

I googled and found out that indeed it is a scam!! First we have the lottery scam, then the inheritance scam and now the conference scam!! Wouldn't it be easier for the scammers to spend their time to earn a decent yet humble living than to try and fleece their fellowmen?

Faithful dogs who are willing to die for their masters would put such con men to shame! Wake up scammers and put your life to good use in this short journey on earth.
