| User | Psychopathic_na | | Topic | Need URGENT Help! | | Message | Okay... to sum it up. My mother (annoyingly) sent one of my poems via E-mail to a firm called, International Society Of Poets. (my mother sent in one of my first poems, ’
’Messenger’’, She sent it in with HORRIFIC spelling mistakes and grammar faults.)
Now they sent me a letter stating that i have been nominated for Poet of the Year 2007. They want me to fly down to vagas and stay in one of theire wonderfull hotels. I know this is a con but my mom is urging me to send more poems in.... Can someone PLEASE confirm this as a HOAX?
Further Information: International Society of Poets,
Steven J. Michaels(Chairman)
Dr. Len Roberta, Ph.D. (Chairman)
Address, 1 Poetry Plazza, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117-6282
(410)356-2000
Heres the catch:
’Our host hotel, the world famous Riviera Hotel and Cosino, has offered our members an unbelievable discount off theire published rates while rooms last’.
I know this is a scam, but i would be gratefull if someone can confirm that it is.
thanks |

| User | alteredlife | 2007-05-31 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | This is the same deal as Poetry.com. Just get your mother to go on the net with you and Google the keywords "Society of Poets" and "scam" and voila, a thousand hatemail-type pages/blogs denouncing this scum-sucking corporation.
Also, I think they’ll ask you for money... any non-vanity publisher would never do that; in fact, it’s THEM that should be paying you, not the other way around.
Hope this helps. |
