Somewhat relevant (and more amusing) is the story of Scigen[1], a tool that three MIT CS PhD students put together to generate fake but legitimate-looking papers in order to troll conferences with low/no acceptance standards.
Their site also tells the story of submitting and attempting to present a paper to shame one of these spammy, fake conferences.
