Press Release: Alert About a Fraudulent Conference Advertisement August 08, 2008 | New York | Clinton Foundation | Press Releases The William J. Clinton Foundation has recently discovered that individuals (likely from a French-speaking African country) are misrepresenting themselves as the Clinton Foundation and advertising a conference called "International Forum Workshop of NGO/CBOs" which they say is scheduled to take place November 1-5 in Washington DC and is being jointly conducted by the Foundation and the US Government. They seek registration fees of $250 from interested participants and request that bank transfers for this amount be sent to an address given in the invitation. They also attempt to lure "participants" by suggesting that the Clinton Foundation will cover the costs of some of the attendees. The invitation includes Clinton Foundation logos, addresses, etc. Please be advised, THIS SOLICITATION IS FRAUDULENT AND IN NO WAY CONNECTED OR AFFILIATED WITH THE WORK OF THE CLINTON FOUNDATION. We are taking steps to address this matter. The titles and locations of some of the past fraudulent conference invitations have included: * "SYMPOSIUM of NGO/CBO" which they say is scheduled to take place January 2009 in Chicago. * "NGO/CBO International Forum Workshop" which they say is scheduled to take place from November 1-5 in Washington D.C. * "10th Symposium of NGO/CBO" which they say is scheduled to take place from October 24-29 in Boston * "10th Roundtable of NGO/CBOs on African Development" which they say is scheduled to take place September 8-13 in Texas. * "10th Roundtable of NGO/CBO" which they say is scheduled to take place from August 24-29 in South Carolina. * "15th Symposium of NGO/CBO" which they say is scheduled to take place from August 18-23 in Boston. * "9th Roundtable of NGO/CBO" which they say is scheduled to take place July 14-19 in Boston. * "3rd International NGO/CBO Workshop - Transforming Civil Society" which they say is scheduled to take place July 7-9 in New York.
