TEDx scam in Dubai targets speakers with $25,000 packages
Khaleej Times
|October 06, 2025
The warning came after a Khaleej Times sting revealed Indian fraudsters pushing a fake TEDx event set for October 16 at a five-star hotel in Dubai Marina.
-
Promotional brochures obtained by Khaleej Times openly tout “Guaranteed TEDx Speaker Packages” ranging from $10,000 to $25,000. A check with the hotel confirmed a booking on that date.
One $10,000 “Spotlight Package” promises fast-tracked approval, publication on TED’s official YouTube channel with more than 40 million subscribers, 100,000 guaranteed views, and “private networking with other speakers”.
A $15,000 “Elite Package” adds IMDb listings, SEO boosts, and PR in 10+ publications, while the so-called “Ultimate Package” at $25,000 assures curated scripts, professional coaching, and an international publicity blitz.
