PEC College's IEEE-EECCMC Spam: "The integrity and security of this message cannot be guaranteed"

The email from "PEC College" may be spam for a real conference. PEC stands for Priyadarshini Engineering College, so PEC College is a name in the style of Joseph Heller's Major Major. The college is "Permanently Affiliated to Anna University." A publication gives some history:
With the sole aim that the accomplishment of the Vision and Mission of the Trust does not get shattered, the matter was referred to the Honorable High Court of Madras for scheming. The Honorable High Court of Madras appointed Retired Justice V.Rengasamy as the Receiver of the Trust in the year 2004 which appointment was confirmed by the Honorable Supreme Court of India, New Delhi. Right from that time Honorable Justice V.Rengasamy with his efficient leadership, guidance and impeccable integrity is administering Priyadarshini Engineering College faithfully following the Vision and Mission of Jai Barath Charitable Trust in letter and spirit and has raised the college to greater heights.
He took initiative to establish palatial buildings and ,,, our labs are deficient free ... .
The advertised conference has no speakers (as of 11/14/17), but it has a committee whose "Chief Patron" is "Honorable Justice V. Rengasamy Administrator, Jai Bharath Charitable Trust."

Allied Academies Is "Promoting Scientific Temperament" with "An Unforgettable Experience in Exploring New Fortuity"

Allied Academies presents itself (11/1/17) as "an established and reputed publisher which started publishing in the year 1994. Initially the focus of the group was to organize conferences and publish articles in the realm of Business and Management, with time the publisher expanded the subject scope and presently focusing on other subject areas." An AA conference website, however, advertises fewer "years of excellence [20] in international meetings."

The conference organizers who solicited me on the basis of my nonexistent "eminence in the diabetes" "are overwhelmed to announce '26th International Conference on Clinical Diabetes' (Clinical Diabetes 2017) as a continuum of our previous successful conference." I too am overwhelmed, especially since the "About Conference" page promises "free communication sessions" and "Fresh New Talent from across the Globe in Health Industry gather[ing] in this world congress." It adds that "Allied Academic Publication is an amalgamation of several esteemed academic and scientific associations known for promoting scientific temperament."

The amalgam's email uses a London address (85 Great Portland St, Marylebone) supplied by a virtual office company. AA is part of the notorious OMICS group, as reflected in the wording of its emails and webpages.
