Thanks for posting about them. I posted awhile back about how they were blog spamming blog posts about Open Access. http://dougsarchaeology.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/predatory-open-access-publisher-omics-publishing-group-hits-new-low-in-blog-spamming/ and here as well http://dougsarchaeology.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/predatory-open-access-publisher-omics-publishing-group-now-blog-spamming/ I actually get a fair amount (10-15 day, a lot for me) of visitors typing into google “OMICS scam” on those posts. Several people have left comments there about the conferences e.g. “OMICS Group Comferences are a SCAM
You are invited to speak, but have to pay for registration.
They ask for multiple payments, claiming they didn’t get it.
Hotel has no record of the conference.
Couldn’t get in touch with organizers after they got the money, except by phone to someone who said they would get back to me but never did (multiple times).
Luckily I canceled beforehand, but of course no refunds.
Avoid OMICS Conferences!”
That was from over a year ago, so they have been at this at least that long.
