Right there is all I need to peg this as a scam. The mail.org email address is available from mail.com, a free, anonymous email service that is very popular with scammers. No real UK government agency, such as UK Immigration, would EVER use such an address. Nor would most reputable conferences use a free, anonymous Yahoo address.

It's a scam, probably to get personal information, ID scans to use and/or to get bogus fees from the "attendees".

Did you try reading the post right above yours where I said, without a doubt, it's a scam? If you received identical text using that mail.org address, it IS a scam.

Timber  Corporation
On the first time I read the email, I burst out of laughter, but the when my Eyes reached the bottom of the letter, I smelled something fishy.. and I investigated the email and company background.... I'm a former scammer,phisher,carder or whatever you call that.. I emailed that timber corporation with their yahoo email, they don't even have a website on their own.. and now LOL, i noticed that the email i received came from a .co.cc domain,.. I once used that free domain before for my phishing pages. and now they have got their own website, though its not yet finished.. MAN!!, if you're a legit company, you wont bother to spend a little bucks for a .com domain for yer company and hire a temporary web developer to fix the website,not unless you have a leet crew who can do the job for your evil deeds... HAHA.. i won't waste my $168 by throwing it to your bank account.. i'd rather use it to buy some certification voucher for me to get certified in my field.. lol.. I would have send all my personal documents if only there's no money involve LOL
