People already lost conference fees that have not be refunded and the
conferences never took place.

They have 3490 conferences, many of them with stolen names.

There is no positive side.  WASET has stolen the names of reputable
conferences, ex: 

 

XXXIV. International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks is a fiction,
we had 12 ICANNs run by the European Neural Networks Society every year, and
as the President of the ENNS for past 6 years I'd certainly have heard about
another conference with this name that started earlier. 

 

International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing, has
been 12 times in Poland, so how one can have XXXIII Conference? Where is
information about the previous ones? Can you recognize many other reputable
conferences on the WASET list that they have hijacked? 

 

Perhaps a few are actually organized, but this does not change the facts. 

 

With best regards,
