>This is a total hoax. In fact I teach it to my students [and to NGOs] as
>an example of an elaborate hoax and how to spot a hoax. They actually
>improved upon it now and have a website, although it used to come by
>email before. The website makes it more impressive to those who do not
>know. First, the site has an address from a free website which is
>orgsites.com . Also, it has yahoo and hotmail as email addresses. For an
>organization that purports to invite 6 participants per organization,
>the least is that it can afford a website.. no? Or a logo? Also, the
>organization is not in any search engine, nor are the names of the
>people  involved. The problem with this hoax is not the passport numbers
>because they cannot do anything with that [I hope!!] But the problem is
>that they ask you to pay for an 'hotel specially reserved for you'  and
>when you pay of course [via a hotmail address], you have lost the money.
>
>There are of course many many other indications, but those are enough
>for now.
>Please make sure to tell about this hoax to as many people as you can
>because NGOs HAVE fallen for it and I have received calls for help from
>such organizations.
