Alert about a Fraudulent Conference Advertisement
April 25, 2008
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 "First International
Congress of ONGs and OCBs on African Development" which they say is scheduled
to take place May 5-9 in New York 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.
