Dear Nath, Upon your request, I have sent 4 probable and 1 possible fake conference registrations to you directly. But I fear in the future you may drown in them if we all send them over to you. It is like the "urgent business proposal"s we receive from all over Africa: in the early years the Police department of Economical Crimes in Norway asked us to send over to them all the e-mails of this kind we received. Now, litterally hundreds (probably thousands) of them are received every day in a small country like Norway alone. I think we have just seen the beginning of fake conference registrations. Rather than our Nigerian colleagues should waste time on finding out whether registrations are real (plus they will start coming from all parts of Africa), I think AFRICOM and other representative bodies of African museums should find ways for some kind of simple authorisation of conference registrations, so that we do not delete real registrations. Per ICME -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: National Museum Calabar [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sendt: 15. august 2003 03:26 Til: [log in to unmask] Emne: Re: Fake conference registrations? Dear Per, Kindly let me know the names and addresses that they have used for the registration. Please clear all cases of conference registrations with the Nigeria representative(s). we are ready to assist where we can. We have a national body and we know virtually everybody working in all the museums and museum related institutions in Nigeria.
