NDT scam to get personal details

Posted by: Philippe Rubbers Profile (PID_168), E-mail: Address, on July 05, 2008 at 10:18 :

Dear collegues.

I have just recieved an e-mail which appears to have obtained my e-mail address from this forum.
This e-mail requests perfonal information for what appears to be the NDT conference in China, but I believe it to be a scam.

Below is the letter.
Has anyone else had a similar request for information, and is it genuine?

which department helps us to do the official invitation letter. Now we have
got the information that a diplomatic department in Beijing will help us to
do that. They need you to fill in the forms attached, that is the
information they need. When we get the invitation letter, we will post you
by express. Thus please provide the full, correct post address when you fill
the form. Please note our 17WCNDT will be postponed from Oct. 25 to 28,
2008.
