Ist honorsociety.org sicher?

Spam email for an unbranded "honor society" aims to collect your personal information and money. Be advised: your school did not initiate this. Risks: tracking, spam, credit card fraud, identity theft. Do not provide any financial or personal data.

Unsolicited SPAM email from ***** (which I had never heard of before they harvested my email address)  received in violation of the US CANSPAM Act anti-spam law.  Illegal spamming activity reported to FTC (and I will be following up on this complaint and will not let it drop) and a complaint was also filed with Spamcop.  These spammers further violate the CANSPAM Act by ignoring unsubscribe requests which is a violation of the law.  As shown by the complaints filed with the BBB against HonorSociety, others have voiced similar complaints about HonorSociety violating anti-spam laws and ignoring unsubscribe requests.  A complaint has now also been filed with the BBB against these spamming scammers.  The biggest joke is that this so-called honor society has been spamming me with emails about  "my academic achievements" at A COLLEGE I NEVER ATTENDED OR EVEN HEARD ABOUT BEFORE THESE SPAMMERS HARVESTED MY EMAIL ADDRESS.  What a scam!  Tell me SCAMMING SPAMMERS at ***** how it would be possible for anyone to have high  "academic achievements" and qualified for an "honor society" membership at a college they never attended.  What a joke!

Another site where you can buy your "certificate". While the site might be safe for visiting; it's not safe for your wallet. IF you have the funds; they have the membership. Join a legitimate honor society instead where you have to have earned it. Read the warning from a Texas State University: ***** "Gene Young, Ph.D., Dean of SHSU’s Honors College, warned students to keep cautious of HonorSociety.org, which has recently been emailing students at their SHSU email address. He said it is a deceptive website that is not a member of the Association of College Honor Societies or other recognized college honor organizations."

Another prime example of a scam targetting college students. The site is not accredited in any way. ACHS warns against this scam: ***** The site has lies spread and false promises via social media, youtube and even refers to a false standing in the BBB. They are also not transparent in how much money they demand from you. Conclusion: SCAM!

This organization is not certified with Association of College Honor Societies (the overseeing institution for honor organizations), and raises a big red flag. Sure other commenter on here also talk about the website's security, but that has nothing to do with the website's legitimacy. STAY AWAY!
