Honor Society Scam

[keepsingin]

Get a load of this...I received a congratulatory acceptance email to this alleged honor society (http://honorsociety.org). It said it was from the Thomas A Edison State College (first giveaway!) HonorSociety.org Network. They go on to claim they're the "preeminent organization dedicated to the recognition of student success."

Here's their list of benefits if you pay $50 for a six month membership:
Exclusive scholarship listings.
Free test prep.
Free access to Career Insider guide books and tools by Vault.com (up to $1,000 Value).
Dental, Vision and Hearing Health Discount Plans valid at 200,000 access points nationwide.
Priority admissions and waived application fee to global internship programs.
HonorSociety.org regalia - honor cords & tassels.
Dining discounts at 18,000 restaurants nationwide.

Makes me laugh because everything they promise is such a joke; firstly, because it's all based on my "academic achievements" of which they know nothing, and on my connection to tesC, which connection is nonexistent!

I'm just glad they have this little disclaimer in their terms of use because it make them a little bit more honorable

THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY MATERIALS, INFORMATION OR DATA AVAILABLE THROUGH, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF, THE SITE OR THE SERVICE.
