OMG I almost fell for it! So I receive an email inviting me to speak at a conference in the UK. The writing style is outlandish but it's a religious organization, according to themselves, and they got my topics right, more or less. So fine, I start talking to them.
I ask them who recommended me and when we can talk. Get a response immediately saying they are okay with my fees, will pay for everything (again, it is in the UK), just sign the contract and let's go. No answers to my questions. I think, hmmmmm.

And then the answer arrives. My organs are probably safe because I was never going to go to the UK to speak at the event that probably doesn't even exist. They just ask to kindly send them my mailing address, copies of my IDs, and my banking info for the deposit.

At that point I am like, whoa there, so I go to the organization's Contact page, and of course there is a note that somebody is impersonating them. The level of sophistication!!! These people go after speakers and even check their topics before trying to scam them!!

An important detail that they requested all my info before I had a chance to even read their contract, let alone sign it. But I actually answered 2 of their emails before I realized that they were trying to steal my ID!! So if you get an email from "Henry Kendal," beware.
