General
Copied word for word from 
chiaroscuro 's journal, also in another picture the sign is clearly in German, meaning its probably a picture from EF
" First, thanks to FizzOtter, Duncan Da Husky, and Silverautomatic, for information.
So, we got this: http://furrybeach.weebly.com/ It is a scam. scam scam. scammity scam. How do I know?
#1 All the pictures on the website are from other conventions, including Furfright and Anthrocon.
#2 Apparently the con happened in 2009 and 2010, but no one's heard of it. Including fursuiters featured in the photgraphs.
#3 On the page, it says "If you don't have a fursuit, we'll lend you one from our donated fursuits." Wht?a
#4 Their registration prices are $15, with Sponsor at $20. Double-what?
#5 Their listed 'people who have registered' page seems auto-generated, with every last person listed having a fursuit
#6 Their listed con location simply does not exist.
#7 Numerous spelling and typographical errors suggesting shoddy efforts.
#8 Absolutely no listed names in association with the convention.
#9 The 'con hotel' is a timeshare and has never heard of Furry Beach. And the link isn't even live HTML. "
This is either a scam, or worse, its something to take advantage of furries or set up to lampoon them.

If there were actual arrests, prosecutions, or ANYTHING it would make the news and furries in da news is almost universally bad.
Also, obviously from someone who only read enough about furry cons to have a passing knowledge, hoping to hook some suckers. The "everyone must wear a fursuit" thing is oddly common misinformation.
Eesh, if anyone that lives far enough away to need to fly falls for this...
