Abstract
By using the Garfinkle, Horowitz and Strominger black hole solutions as examples, we illustrate that, with respect to the reference action functional proposed by Hawking and Horowitz, the asymptotic mass parameter is not invariant between two conformally related static spherically symmetric metrics.
