The phone numbers (+44 70...) are redirect numbers which make it appear the person is in the UK, but actually, they can receive the call any place in the world. See this topic for further information: http://scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16485

This FAKE CONFERENCE offers "Free"conference registration fees and air transportation for attendees of the conference. The scammers require advance hotel payment (for a non-existent hotel) in exchange for the "free" conference fees and "free" airline tickets.

The SCAM claims:

"Participants are expected to secure and pay for their hotel room at the designated conference venue (Broadway Hotels and Suites) as quickly as possible to enable them secure their partiticpation slot and grant award."

"The rest of the inscription fee will be covered accordingly with the amount and dates of the Conference call. Participants from developing countries of Asia, South America, Africa will have their hotel reservation fee refunded on their arrival at the venue."

"...the access grant scholar award is 2800 pounds for the first 50 participants to register for the conference."

In this scam, the "conference organizers" will state that only participants with a hotel reservation receipt from Broadway Hotels and Suites will be issued invitation letters to the conference. The victim pays the hotel fee, never receives airline tickets, and loses his/her money!
