Thank you for pointing me to this issue. I only skimmed 
through the e-mail before passing it through the list and 
I did not notice the issue. Not that I was not a bit 
suspicious about Elsevier sending this type of 
announcement, but on the first sight it seemed quite 
alright, so I did not give it a second thought. I 
apologize for this. Of course it does not serve the 
quality of this list.

You are right, from now on I will take a closer look at 
this type of things, I already stopped several similar 
attempts. Yet, I somehow do not see the motivation behind 
such a scam. No serious member of the research community 
would fall for such a way of submission... Very 
interesting case :-).

Have a nice day and thanks again,

Peter Novak, Event at CIG administrator.
