I was too contacted by two different profiles on LinkedIn to attend a star conference in Rome. Both profiles didn’t seem to belong to a real person. The description of the conference did not make sense, nor does their website. They immediately ask you to pay a fee. It’s a scam!

I Was Contacted By STAR Conferences, but...: A Story of a Potential Conference Scam
In October of 2021, I received a message on LinkedIn from an employee at STAR Conferences. They invited me to present at an addiction conference in London, UK, July 21-22, 2022. I was so excited as I've never presented internationally, and immediately submitted my abstract. A few months later, I got a message confirming my abstract had been approved. But recently, I started to wonder if this whole thing is a scam...
Let me share why:
I received my confirmation of my session in March 2022 and paid the conference registration. In my excitement to present at an international conference, I shared the joyous news right here on LinkedIn. In May 22, STAR Conferences reached about the possibility of moving the conference in October on account of COVID-19. I checked my calendar, blocked the dates, and requested they inform me if and when this change occurs. I was informed that a decision would be make in 24 hours....that was on May 24, 2022! To date, I have still not received any communications about the move of the conference or my request for a refund for the registration fee. In fact, TODAY, is when I was originally supposed to be presenting in London! smh
I feel as though I've given plenty of opportunities for this situation to be resolved and will now seek support from my bank to recoup the registration fee.
If you have been contacted by STAR Conferences, or are thinking about submitting a proposal to them, I urge you to be cautious. This is a story of my personal experience with what appears to be a conference scam. I hope by sharing my story, it will help someone else. It never crossed my mind to be concerned about the conference being real. I mean heck, they reached out to me on LinkedIn!!! I consider this space a professional world, protected from schemes or tricks. This experience has been valuable, as I will now have a new eye for evaluating future speaking engagements.
I also hope this post, inspires others who have had a similar experience, to share your story with others! We've got to help each other identify companies with questionable operating practices.

This appears to be a scam
This appears to be a scam - You are invited to give a presentation in your specialist field and then they chase you for payment to the conference. Avoid.

Dear Barbara, We are extremely sorry for disappointing you asking for a fee, We kindly request you to research about us before calling us a “ A Scam” We asked for a fee for the services and benefits we offer you personally, If follow up messages have disappointed you, We’re sorry, Thank you
Scam
Scam. Approached me via LinkedIn to be a speaker in a completely unrelated to me field - there is no way any credible organisation would do that, and then kept insisting for me to pay for conference fees. Furthermore, couple of days later another LinkedIn user wrote exactly same message to me again, but this time advertising conference in another country. Don’t pay them any money, stay away
