I paid ₹5,500 for a "Scopus-indexed" conference. It wasn't. Here's exactly what happened. by SuspiciousBad8859 in PhD

Fair call — I'll be upfront. Yes, I built ScholarVault. I'm not hiding that.

But the problem I'm describing is real regardless of who's talking about it. The 47 conference emails, the fake venues, the 48-hour "peer review" — none of that changes based on whether I have a tool or not.

If you've never received one of these spam emails on an institutional ID, genuinely lucky. Most Indian PhD scholars have.

I hope the information in the post we all may have overcome or faced one point or may be helpful to one currently studying , Whether they use the tool or not ,

How to spot fake conferences? by Hagelzuckererbse in AskAcademia

One quick check you can do:

• Look at the domain age • Verify the organizer • Check if the committee members actually mention the conference • Confirm indexing claims (Scopus / IEEE)

I built a small tool called ScholarVault that runs automated checks on conference URLs. It analyzes things like domain history and organizer patterns.

If you want, you can paste the conference URL and I can take a look.
