Bogus Events & Training company defrauding delegates in South Africa, Zambia and other neighbouring countries
Beware!! Blue Conference & Events, also operating sometimes as: Blue Solutions & Events; Blue Anchor Academy or Blue Business Solutions & Events are complete Fraudsters and Scam-Artists. They prospect for your business and arrange bogus seminars and training events at various conference centres around the country. They use the names of genuine Trainers/Facilitators/Guest Speakers (whose information they pull of the internet and websites) and ask for anything between 80% to 100% payment up-front at around R5,500 per delegate. The customer books his flights, accommodation and arrives at the "said event" only to find there is absolutely no training happening! The website says they operate from Wildfig Business Park in Honeydew (this is also fake) and if you call them, they tell you they work from a home in Randburg. They keep changing their business name, contact people and email addresses so its hard to track them down, but an IT team have tracked them down to an address at 3 Corporation Street in city centre Cape Town. Their domain has been reported to Microsoft and Cybercrime.org.za Advice: if you book with ANY Training and Events Company, please always phone the venue where the conference is taking place (to verify the event is indeed happening) and find out the names and emails of any Trainers/Presenters, contact them DIRECTLY and verify that they are booked to speak at that event.
