Hi,
I received this mail:
Dear Dr. Corrado Mollica,
I hope this message finds you well.
We are delighted to announce that the 10th World Conference on Infectious Diseases will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, from June 18th to 20th, 2025. On behalf of organizing committee, we sincerely welcome you to deliver a talk on your research as Speaker/Chair in this meeting. Would you plan to attend this conference?

I THINK THAT IT IS PHISHING! right?
I thank you! I'm afraid it is phishing. What do you think about?
regards.
Corrado Mollica
Corrado Mollica - While this is not phishing in the original sense (trying to obtain your personal information) it is clearly an example of a PREDATORY CONFERENCE (google this for more info). Please do not attend. I did copy the website address that contacted you 'conference-wcid2025.com' and it could not be retrieved - Which is a big concern! I also googled the conference and did find it at a bitcongress site (concern!) and noticed many areas of concern that indicate this as a Predatory Conference, including lack of any valid sponsors and eight concurrent meetings (so they can make money on only a few people attending each). SO MANY RED FLAGS -- please ignore and do not attend!
Another HUGE red flag is that people with no experience in infectious disease research (e.g., people like me) receive invitations like this:
"On behalf of organizing committee, we sincerely welcome you to deliver a talk on your research as Speaker/Chair in this meeting. Would you plan to attend this conference?"
