Question 109: Fraud

As stated on the web site “All 5th degrees and higher automatically placed on our National Review Board. 8th degrees and higher are automatically placed on our International Review Board. Be aware: The information you provide regarding your background and training will be researched and verified.” Therefore, this means that they bestow high rank on applicants and then automatically make the applicants board members that can bestow rank on others. From what I can find on the site, they charge a $30 application fee. How much research and verification is going to take place for $30?

The XXX President, ZZZ and other board members call themselves doctors, but there doctorates are awarded by the “University of YYY,” a “recognition program” operated by ZZZ . ZZZ also operates the “VVV" another rip-off organization. One of the XXX ’s international board members is Jack Stern. Do an Internet search to read about him; he is a convicted fraud.

I used reverse phone number lookup on the organization's phone number and found it was registered to XXX. A Google Maps search found the address is in a run-down apartment complex in a town with population about 500, in the middle of nowhere.
