Learned today from doing an internet search that this person/company is running a scam inviting speakers to come to the UK. What they are really after is the victim to agree to fork over approx. $1,000 for a UK Work Permit as discovered once I searched for "UK Speaker Scam." I located a website blog of another speaker who wrote about this group in great detail.in fact, his experience was exactly what I've been involved with since the first of February.
I hadn't given them any passport info, bank accts., or credit card as I got suspicious when every one of my speaking engagement requests were accepted... From airline tickets (2 business class), Hilton Hotel accommodations (4 nights), ground transportation, meals and an exorbitant speaker fee. I had a tough time believing a church could afford to bring me in.
The following is the blog with all the details of this scam: http://www.patrickschwerdtfeger.com/uk-work-permit-church-scam-for-speakers
