Not exactly anything new here, fake conferences, ideally hosted in a top vacation spot, have happened all the time.
It's not exactly a bad thing either *cough*, you just need to know what to expect, e.g. a scientific publication reference to your CV, or a nice vacation financed by your University. And last but not least, "honesty in science" issues are not really much of a CS issue, other fields where there is much more money at stake, e.g. Medicine/Pharmaceutic Research are way crazier.
