“World Human Right Organization” is a Fraud (unlike my cool organization, the World Organization for Human Rights USA)

UPDATE: Human Rights USA appears to have closed up shop. You can still find their website here, courtesy of the Internet Archive. They did fantastic work, and we will miss them.

From Nigerian scams to missives about Viagra, most of us have dealt with obnoxious spam and feel confident in ignoring it. But what about when the spam just *might* be true? What if it mentions to one of our pet interests or flatters us? What if we just don’t want to blow a potentially amazing opportunity? Fraudsters soliciting money by masquerading as a non-profit organization can capitalize on any one of these doubts. In this case, the World Human Right Organization (a spammer or group of spammers) is inviting people around the world to a Human Rights conference in Washington DC. As an intern for the similarly named but quite different World Organization for Human Rights, I was pretty peeved when we started getting calls from people all around the world asking if an email they received, (see samples here, here and here) inviting them to a new Human Rights conference in Washington DC, was legitimate.

Non-profits are not made of resources, and if all this fake organization was doing was wasting the time of our executive assistant, they would still be doing serious harm. But these spammers are also soliciting personal information (see their website–read a bit closer to see it is a total scam) and donations.

In the course of investigating this spammer, I stumbled upon a neat sub-culture: spam-baiters. These vigilantes make a hobby of harassing spammers. Whether at 419eaters (Nigerian scams are called 419 scams because of section 419 of the Nigerian penal-code is the one which deals with fraud), fraudwatchers or the thescambaiter, there are people who spend their free-time tying spammers into knots, and keeping them away from unsuspecting or overly-hopeful victims.

The World Human Right Organization is wasting the time of the organization for which I am interning and attempting to defraud interested human rights activists, is fake, a fraud, and a purveyor of spam. Bait them or ignore them, but don’t believe them.

If you are interested to participate as an individual or want to represent your country or your organization, you may contact the conference secretariat genera of the organizing committee for details and information’s regarding registration for the international conference.

    Inform them that you were invited to participate by a friend of yours (Miss Rita Richmond) who is a member of the International Committee of the Red Cross and a staff of WORLD HUMAN RIGHT ORGANIZATION (W.H.R.O)

    Below is the contact address of the conference secretariat .By email:

    whro.secretary@gmail.com

    You can also contact me on my private e-mail:

    rita.richmo@gmail.com

    Yours secretly,

    Miss Rita Richmond,

  2. Thank you very much for Warning.I also got same invitation letter. But I have sent my passport information to them.. Will it be problematic for me? Also I received Congratulations from U.S.Consulate.The address of consulate is United state Department National VISA Centre 32 Rochester Ave,Portsmouth,NH 03801-2900 AND Secretary General of US Consulate is Mrs. Christine Thompson.Is this address is available or not?
    Kindly inform.
    O.P.Chimankar

  3. I’m not sure about the address, but the invitation was absolutely a fraud. If I were you, I would check all of my bank accounts to make sure no one else is using my money, and tell my bank that someone may have stolen my identity. You could also hire a credit-watching agency. Best hopes,

  4. Thank you very much for warning the public at large about the WHRO. I did receive their mail and was about to send my personal details. I will also caution others about it

  5. Dear servant of God, greetings to you in the name of Jesus, we have very much loved your programme, we stay in western Uganda in Africa helping orphan children and widows, we therefore request to know more concerning your ministry, we shall appreciate as we hear from you.
    God bless you so much.
    Rev. John Bahebwa
    [Edited: the commenter left a great deal of very personal contact information, which I have deleted for his privacy]

  6. Just three tips or reminders to help you avoid trouble re. all these offers and announcements you get via e-mail or otherwise:

    1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

    2. Google the name with the organization of the sender.

    3. Simply ignore or delete messages from sources unknown to you.

  7. hello. i just came across your blog posting due to an email i received today. i figured it was bogus because of the poor grammar and typos it contained. but i will say that there is some benefit to this event, it is an opportunity to let others know about true humanitarian causes. please visit my channel at http://www.youtube.com/hivquestions (and healing alternatives) videos available in multiple languages. thank you.

  8. “Miss Rita Richmond” seems to be a very active person.
    I also received the same invitation from her part but on the name of a slightly different organization. Being an activist in Poland I can see immediately the difference between the true and the fake invitation. First of all, such a big conference is always planned at least one year in advance, the invitation is always addressed to a person known by her/his full name and function in the organization and signed by the person from the organizational committee (the data you can easily verify by Internet).
    Still I don’t understand why my anti-spam filters do not catch it.
    Best regards,
    Nina

  9. “Miss Rita Richmond” is realy very active. I received invitation from her for the same seminar, but in October.
    Thank for this post. I have some doubt about this e-mail and strat search in internet and found this small forum about fake invitations.

  10. We have already submitted money for reservation in a so called Hotel savana dakar. is it possible by any means to retrieve our money back. please let us know. thank you

  11. Thank you for this information! My brother-in-law received this same invitation through email in Peru, but from an ELIZABETH CHRISTOPHER. I’m so glad I found your site and was able to help my brother-in-law with the information I got here.

  12. Yup – sad scam. I am sending a copy of this email to 419eater.com. I am sorry the World Organization for Human Rights has been “slimed” like this

  13. Hey all,

    Human Rights USA is now being explicitly used in these fraudulent emails. Check out their post:

    http://humanrightsusa.blogspot.com/2009/12/caution-human-rights-usa-name-being.html

    Their advice if you’ve already sent money?

    “If you have already sent your personal information to the designated e-mail address, we suggest you use this link [http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx] to report the fraud to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)”

    Thanks everyone!

  14. i was very much delighted by your information. thanks a lot for making me aware of this fake mail. i don’t understand what these people gain from doing this.

  19. (Also sent in email)

    Dear Dr Hriday,

    I am so sorry this happened to you and your colleagues. The first thing I would urge you to do is inform your banks/credit-card companies that your identity may be compromised. Then I would suggest you contact the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3):

    http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

    and also inform any similar organization in your country (if you are not in the United States). Then watch your bank accounts and credit cards to see if anyone starts stealing from you. I am sorry I cannot be more help, but I hope you find a successful resolution.

    Sincerely,

    Jessica Dickinson Goodman

  24. Another one was brought to by a friend who wanted me to help her with travel documents. I read through the printed out papers. I felt they were fake. My friend thought I was depriving her of a great opportunity. What I did was to google then I printed her a similar letter from laptop. That is when she came back to her senses. Many people have been deprived of huge sums of money by asking the victims to pay advance charges to a lawyer or a consultant in charge of paper processing. The world must know.

  25. I received several mails of invitation of the type attached here below. Inmediately it caused my suspecion because they do not say how they obtained my E-mail, I am a physiscist working on topics very different from human rights, why to invite me instead of specialists in that field. The way they do it is quite strange: it is necessary apply for two conferences (New York and Dakar) but not a single one. They give hotels in Dakar to make a reservation (even if people would not be interested in going to Dakar) but they do not say nothing about Hotels in New York, ..etc. After I went to internet and discovered that other people complain because is a Fraud.
    **************************************************************************
    Dear sir/madam,

    Thanks for your prompt response, if you must know the invitation is calling out to the general public, like does that is privilege to come, so we can come together to deliberate and resolve the issue of discrimination which is racism and also look in to the issue of human right, which is also part of the oppression and discrimination.

    The Conference attendees include; directors, doctors, professors, teachers, pastors and other professionals from various variety of department and staff, including students, managers and others against Racism and in support of Human Right. The conference will be addressed by prominent speakers of the humanitarian industry who will engage through their interactive session to bring forth relevant humanitarian issues.

    In case you are wondering how we get to you, the below note we explain better.

    * In our quest to invite people from various countries around the world, we went in search of professionals and NGO members on the Google website as a means of contacting people and organizations. As a result, you where picked by the Google search machine. so if you know you are interested to participate as an individual or would like to represent your country or organization, you can feel in your details in the form that will be send to you by the (SORO) secretary, as i will be forwarding your mail and request to her desk.

    Regardless of the pressure, we the member of the Save our Right Organization under go to put down this global event, we believe it is what it, because time have come for us as a people to come together and live as one.

    Like i stated previously, i will be forwarding your mail and request to the (SORO) conference secretariat, I believe you will receive a response from her regarding details for the forth coming global international conference on Racism and Human Right which will be taken place in New York City (USA) and Dakar Senegal West Africa.

  28. I have just got E-mail from Sheila Logan on behalf of Global Human Research Organization inviting me to a conference at USA. Even she has requested me to circulate the matter to whom I shall think fit for attending. surprisingly, the organization will bear all costs of participating. I thought it is a misleading mail. Thank you for unveiling the organization. I hope many of the innocent gyus will be saved by reading this blog.
    Thanks,
    arabinda mitra

  29. Thank you for illuminating this scam. My letter (May 15, 2010) came from a Suzanne Albright. I was suspicious when the words “rights” & “states” were misspelled and am sure glad that I checked before replying. I know, however, that I would never send my passport or banking information via email to anyone regardless of the circumstances. I certainly hope others take the time to check this out before replying.

    Thanks again and may your organization prosper in its endeavours.

  30. Hi,

    The site mentioned at the top has been suspended by the host, due to its nature.

    My question is whether anybody knows if it’s the same as the following I found for WHRO, at whro-un.do.am

    The text on that site is an almost complete copy of an actual NGO Irewoc, that I know to be legit (my sister works there). These WHROers simply copy pasted their text and changed some names.

  31. Oh My God!!! I found about this conference taking place in Anaheim Convention Center, USA and Vietnam. The theme of the conference was Child Labor/Abuse. I almost believed it, called back to my country and told my colleagues to prepare sending me the documents and money. I actually googled “International Human Right Conference” and this ad for the upcoming conferences popped out from this web site which is: http://www.conferencealerts.com/seeconf.mv?q=ca16xai3. So, is that mean this web site is also a scam? I sent e-mail regarding the deadline of the registration and the fees. But they sent me back the brochure, fee invoice and the application form. The thing that surprised me was unlikely above people, they did not put any names in their e-mail. Also even I sent my name, they still start the e-mail with “Dear Sir/Ma” which shows that they send bunch of people in same time. And I google mapped the address which they put on the conference ad, it happen to show that it was a chinese restaurant!!
    Here’s the ad of the conference:

  34. gosh how timely that i was able to read your warning. i come from the philippines and some of my friends who are court social workers have expressed interest in attending the so-called 14th global conference in the USA and Vietnam. they have actually submitted their names already to the WHRO. Good thing they have not yet deposited the required fees, though. will the pieces of info or personal data cause probelms in the future? heaps of thanks and keep up the good work!!!!!

  35. Dear All!
    Please could you actually give me a tangible advise on this WHRO Conference due to hold on the 6-13 JULY 2010 in Los Angeles and 14-21 July in Vietnam? Is it a scamp or real?

  36. Hi Ms Tufon,

    I believe, based on the evidence of the posters before you, that the WHRO is an organization dedicated to scamming the most open-hearted people in the world, those who dedicate their lives to fighting for human rights. Examine the WHRO’s claims carefully, because, as others have posted here, they are probably identity thieves.

  37. I believe that it is a scam. I almost believed it, but thankfully found this website. Thank you again.

  38. You are perfectly right i have been following up closely and the website is blocked.
    It is amazing what the world has become? Can’t imagine people could be so wicked to open-minded human rights promoters?
    How do such people pay for the crimes they commit? God bless us!!!

  39. The scam continues. Ironically, I received this e-mail on June 20, 2010, World Refugee Day.

    So I did an online search on the organization and came across this post.

  40. thanks to my sister’s doghter she opened my aye, I also received the invitation from this people and i have send all my infomation and the infomation of the group, the invitation read.

  41. and the second one read.

    Dear Conference/participant,
    I want to inform all our participants that there have been some modalities that have taken place which warrant us to shift the conference date. The conference is going to be held 12th to 14th July 2010 at Washington DC in the United States and in Athens Greece from 17th to 20th July 2010.
    This is due to the inability of over 300 participants who could not catch up with the deadline, and lack of seats in our carrier Airline Company.
    Furthermore, we have exceeded the normal capacity of attendants and we have over 5,000 participants already, with more than 800 more on the waiting list.
    We are trying our best to ensure that all participants attend to make this event the most historic of the decade.
    Please for participants who are having their appointment date this month of June 2010 contact the immigration department for more information. And for those who are yet to submit the requested documents, please do that ASAP.
    Note: the two phases of the conference is mandatory for all delegates, and your hotel booking confirmation receipt is what we will forward along with your documents to the attorney of bureau of immigration here in united state for the approval of your group visas to prove your group will participate in both events.
    We have to confirm from your group if will can go ahead in your registration. and I need any urgent response to this mail.
    We are sorry for all the inconvenience this may cause you.
    Thank you for your marvelous understanding.
    Best Regards
    Richard C. Dieter

  42. We already registered for the conference and going to buy tickets in order to attend the conference.

    Is “WHRO Conference due to hold on the 6-13 JULY 2010 in Los Angeles and 14-21 July in Vietnam” a scamp or real? Please can any one help us? Kenan

  43. Thank you for your warning. Hopefully, I found your message after receiving this spam. I got suspicious. Offering so much free is often the hook being used by these crooks.

  44. It is amazing that after all the evidence given against the veracity of this conference, the scam is still going on?
    I still receive email from them but i found out that the website is blocked for a week now.

  48. Dear Jessica,

    I really admire what you are doing to help other people. i’m the one who already wasted some money due to stammers when i was in Singapore. now i’m in Nepal working for Orphan children. Yesterday i got one post in facebook about World Human Rights organization http://www.whroun.com. I was interested to join international seminars so i applied there. But from this morning i was not able to use my facebook, it said my fb is disabled. Is this due to hackers?

    I got email from WHRO just before some hrs, here is the mail:

    Dear Sir/Ma

    I really need your assistance.

    Waiting your reply.

    Thanks.

    1. Hi Mr Osti,

      Your Facebook was probably not disabled by hackers, though it is possible. The organization is definitely fake; they are preying on big-hearted individuals working for the social good and messing with the reputation of a good human rights organization:

      Have you tried emailing facebook?

      I hope this works out for you,

      Jessica

    Dear Sir/Ma,

    The international conference on Child Abuse/Labor shall be of high significance for the international community because the issues it will address are evils which we must combat with all our power; Child Abuse/Labor — manifesting themselves in all forms of ignorance are the wellsprings of many of the world’s cause of premature deaths.

  51. Hi Mr Khan,

    I believe you are being scammed. The same organization which contacted you has contacted more than 30 other people who have found this page and commented here. If you scroll up past this comment, you will see dozens of letters just like yours. Please do not send any information to WHRO. They are fraudsters and will try to take advantage of you. Please.

    Sincerely,

    Jessica Dickinson Goodman

  52. I believe you are looking at humanrightsusa.org, which is the “World Organization for Human Rights USA,” a respectable and well-known organization that I interned for two summers ago. They are *not* running any conferences and are having their good name smeared by opportunistic scammers. The “World Human Rights Organization” is a fiction built to harm social justice activists.

    Do you have another URL?

  53. The following information is given at the end of the mail. If u visit their site, http://www.whroun.com, you will see their original site.

  54. ok thanx i have clarified it from world organization for human rights, their message is:

    WARNING: FRAUDULENT HUMAN RIGHTS CONFERENCE INVITATIONS

    It has come to our attention that an internet scheme involving fake human rights conference invitations has been developed to gather individuals’ personal and credit information. Often, the invitations are said to be from World Organization for Human Rights USA, or World Human Rights Organization. World Human Rights Organization is a fraud; if you receive any invitations from them, or have explored their website at http://www.whroun.com, we would truly appreciate your reporting this to the FBI here: http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

    We hope that with several complaints the FBI will respond to this matter more quickly.

    Currently, we are not planning any conferences. We welcome any questions regarding invitations that you may receive, and thank you for your understanding.

    THEME: “The international conference on Child
    Abuse/Labor (Rights of Children)”

    About World Human Rights Organization

    Was established in 1992 to conduct anthropological qualitative research on child labor, Child rights and human rights to raise awareness and influence policy concerning this complex issue. WHRO research takes a child-centered and holistic approach exploring children’s own view and opinions within the wider context of poverty and unequal development.

    Its normative framework is established on international agreements, particularly the ILO conventions 138 and 182 and the United Nations Conventions on the rights of a child.

    WHRO responds to the ever increasing demand for policy-relevant knowledge. Research is conducted in close collaboration with governmental and non-governmental organizations active in the field of Child labor. Working directly with policy makers is the most effective way to close the gap between scientific research and policy design.

    WHRO research is funded by a host of international Ngo’s and government ministries in the United States of America and worldwide through our partners and links. These contacts and WHRO membership to multiple based theme-based discussion platforms greatly help to improve the child labor and rights projects

    Outputs

    Outputs will include

  72. Dear Miss Rita Richmond, how are you? I was searching international
    conferences concerning against racism, human trafficking, child abuse,
    etc. Fortunately, I received an invitation message. I wrote my details
    and interests to the organizing committee. They accepted my request and
    asked me to complete A,B, and C forms. I have completed and attached the
    forms to the organizing committee via their e-mails.

    However, the hotel accommodation in Senegal, Dakar is self sponsored. It
    might be a challenge for me to afford the cost. Is it possible to attend
    the Washington conference only? Or can i get sponsors for my stay at
    Senegal, Dakar?

    I am physics teacher educator from Ethiopia. I teach prospective primary
    school teachers and thus i am near to the larger community. Ethiopia is a
    developing country and a homeland of many nations and nationalities. The
    system of government is federalism. It delegates power for the different
    nations and nationalities. The different nations and nationalities have
    had long history of living together irrespective of their differences in
