[2016-04-09] London Bitcoin Forum 2016 Event Is A Confirmed Scam

[jdebunt]

What will fake events like these do for the reputation of Bitcoin and digital currency?

There has been a lot of discussion regarding the upcoming London Bitcoin Forum 2016 event, which is scheduled to be held in London. However, as it turns out, there is reasonable doubt there will even be a conference to begin with. Various speakers have been announced while they have never been approached by the organization, and the QEII Centre has no event booked at the venue for those dates. Everyone who planned to go there should start working on the refunds process sooner rather than later.

Damn, What a shocker... How do people get away with things like this? They should name and shame the organizers of this event and expose them to public scrutiny. Since we have no legitimate

central authority to validate these events, stuff like this will happen. I guess the safest way to prevent a disaster like this, is to only book a ticket, if the event is sponsored by a big company and if

that company acknowledge that they are affiliated with the event. Things like this should not be tolerated, because possible investors could be burnt by these scams.
