At first glance this may look legitimate, but the use of free e-mail addresses, a different e-mail address to reply to and the prospect of collecting a lot of personal and sensitive information are all signs of a common 419 scam.

They pretend to prepare your travelling documents and book a place for you at the Annual Global Youth Conference in exchange for a "small" fee. The only problem is, you will never get these documents and you will never attend this conference if you work through these idiots, you will only loose your money.

Remember no legitimate organisation will send spammy invitations like this.
