If you have received this email, or one like it, you can see how to break it down from this earlier post on this blog.
Bottom line -- these conferences either don't exist, already took place, or ISN or Willowmist don't have any connections to them anyway. Yet they want you to pay upfront for marketing services that many people report they never receive -- including me. Great frustration. I would still love to have my money back.
Thanks to the person who shared! Here's that email.
