Y-yup. I got Bournemouth Writing Festival but contacted the REAL organiser (the hacks even used his name, just a fake email) and the REAL organiser confirmed it was a scam (although the REAL festival was happening, and the cons had the REAL dates). Do thorough research, else you're SCAMMED.

A whole new scam aimed at writers:

- get an email from a writers conference asking for you as a speaker
- google the conference: it's real
- say 'yeah, let's do it'
- the 'fee' is mentioned for the first time
- you check with friends listed for the event and find out the email reply address is fake
