Dear Alrazi Abdeljabbar I see nothing but red flags, to name a few:
-If one click on associates https://www.iarfconference.com/associates.php it mentions IIERD and ASAR which are dubious as well, see for example my reply of August 5th 2022 here https://www.researchgate.net/post/Fake-journals-and-fake-conferences
-The somewhat odd expression “is the only explanation that focuses exclusively on the interface between the science system and the environment at surfaces” which can be found at the bottom of the page here https://www.iarfconference.com is taken from others sources like https://www.sciencenet.co
-Same is true for another somewhat pompous sentence “The organization was established in year 2010 with a vision to reintroduce the renaissance of science globally.” which can be found here https://www.sciencenet.co as well
So, the website is a highly questionable hodgepodge of pieces from all over the place and none of those places are any good. Personally, I would stay away from this one.
Best regards.

All of the above-mentioned websites are exclusively listing scam conferences. These are the only ones I’ve been able to identify so far, but there could be more.
I contacted several venues listed on these websites, as well as members of the advisory boards. The venues confirmed that no reservations have been made for such conferences, and in many cases, they lack the capacity to host such events. Furthermore, the board members were unaware of any association with these conferences.
The sole purpose of these scams appears to be to steal registration fees and personal information, as they ask for scans of IDs or passports.

It was favorably peer reviewed within 48 hours! I have been given a discount of $35 on the registration fees for registration by end of day today.
The President is Dr.Allena Whitfield (Allena@sciencesociety.co) and I am not able to locate her on linkedIn.
The Conference venue is tentative.
I want to be very sure about this before I take the next step.
Please advice.
