Bridge Medical Research Foundation

In comes a simple advance fee scam from the "Bridge Medical Research Foundation" inviting total strangers to a fully paid conference in Atlanta, Georgia entitled "3rd International Congress for Development and Funding". Well, it's fully paid except the "registration fee of US$ 350".

Their web site is a mixture of text stolen from the William J Clinton Foundation web site which is enough of a clue in itself, don't you think?

The web site says that:
"The Bridge Medical Research Foundation was established in 1990 by Hinger H. Norman, Jr., and is dedicated to supporting innovative, high risk/high impact biomedical research."
Curious that no such person ever existed...

    thank God for this public interest information. I don't think the scammers have stopped as I just got one invitation from them for another programme for 19th and 24th Sept 2011.

    I have received an invitation for the 4th conference and I could not trace any of their former funded projects. I have told them to waive the registration fee to see how they react to it.
