The smartcitiesmauritius.com domain has privacy that prevents me from
viewing its registrant information. Could the person behind it be a
scammer, a fraudster, a terrorist, a thief, a bandit, a mafia
organization? Sorry, I do not know and I cannot say. The domain points
to a free web hosting service which is a typical method used by
scammers. Again, should I think of the people behind as being scammers.
I don't know, I can't say. The people behind the website do not appear
smart.

The conference itself could be a scheme to gulp in Rs 30K from people.
Earlier this year there was a *National Conference* on ICT [1] in March
of this year. Attendees had to pay Rs 2,000.
What happened thereafter?
