Thanks Yeh Yu Wen,
A friend has advised that i investigate whether or not this conference is hoax. Here is some links to help www.inessd.org and www.mtccc.com. I will be grateful for your support to establish that this conference is genuine.

Hi Stanley;
I'm sorry to say, but it looks like your friend is right and that the conference is not genuine. I went to www.mtccc.com, which is the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and they do not list the conference on their site. They are a highly reputable facility (I have been there many times) and list all of their upcoming events online. I also went to www.inessd.org and see that the contact phone number that they give for their Toronto location (1-707-659-1571) is not a Toronto phone number - it is a Santa Clara, California number. I searched for that phone number in Google and found this site: http://www.419scam.org/419-phone-ca.htm where they list this conference with dates in December 2009.
It seems like they have gone to a lot of trouble to make their website look credible, but all together it doesn't seem to be a real conference. Sorry to disappoint, but I hope we found out before you lost any money to them.
All the best;
Cathy.
Hi Cathy, thanks for this support. This world is just crazy, how on earth can a person just sit down to design skims just to rob others. They should change their strategy because the world is now a village where we are free to consult other neighbhors on any issue!. Watch out neighbhors!!1

Hi Stanley, I have worked at this conference and this one is genuine! Lol. It is always done along side COP15 and COP16 , the next one is in Mexico city, next year.
Keep in touch and if you like I will post the contacts to get an invitation from the Mexicans when I know.
goodluck.
Look, there are lots of people doing stupid things. I had lots of organisations pretending to be genuine.
At Klima Forum '09 we even had a chinese government controlled law centers telling us that they are helping Tibetans to sue the government for environmental damage and the truth was ...well...it was rubbish.
Everyone wants a piece of the environmental pie and a few of them are "green washers" and very unethical carbon traders! Beware!
take good care

Hi Stanley;
Just glad I could help. I agree it's crazy! What amazes me is the effort they put into the website to make it look genuine. If they put all that effort into doing something legitimate, they could probably make just as much money and do something worthwhile. You are right though - as long as we have this forum, we will see them coming!
Take care;
Cathy.
Hi everyone, I'm very pleased that you have not parted with your precious money Stanley.
Unfortunately this was not the first time an LR on Nabuur has received such an email- just the info is a little different. (I know 3 LR's who have received something similar in the past) It should act as a reminder to everyone on Nabuur to be very diligent about such scammers- they are getting more and more sophisticated each year and will happily set up bogus websites etc. I wish there was a scam alert area on Nabuur to assist other unsuspecting people. It would be very helpful.

Hi all neighbhors,
Thank you for your support. Let us make it difficult for these scammers to take advantage of us through sharing and consultation. Thanks to nabuur for this opportunity to build a network of friends.

Hi everyone
Its scary how good some of the scammers are getting :( Well done to Cathy for being able to prove it was not legitmate. Stanley I am glad you did not lose any money to this.
These scammers make me SO mad - if they are that creative am sure they could make money without having to lie to people.

Thanks to nabuur and various skills we have here. I would have lost funds to these idlers
