They do not appear on Beall's List of Predatory Open-Access Publishers (yet).
http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/ 
Beall's List does include a journal with the same name as one of the IROCS journals (International journal of computer science and Information security), but it is not the same one. 

They do seem to have many things in common with those that do appear on this list.

"Title-squatting"--I like it. The NYT article on predatory open access journals talked a bit about this phenomenon.

A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie apparently launching in 2013.    There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause, including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want it to appear being something produced by IEEE.  Is this an example of 'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this generic CFP solicitation.  Of course, this is just my opinion based on a 2-minute skim of their site.
