Secret society targets techies Scam or...

On yahoo answers I have seen mentions of people getting letters from "Athenian Secret Society". The letters have mentioned personal items about the people and most of the people were to reply in a matter of two or three days tops. Some wrote it off as scam:

The above website mentions a last book that is to be purchased but what caught my interest is the address:

Athenian Secret Society
Phone: 716-871-2844
Fax: 716-447-7488
3357H Southpark Place
Grove City, Ohio, 43123
U.S.A.



Doing a google search "3357H Southpark Place" brings my first hit to Microsoft:


www.microsoft.com...

On the page you will click and see:

Well I have yet to see a scan on a letter or any of the three books and lastly if anyone has followed it fully out. Could be creative hiring like gorilla marketing? Maybe a I/T secret society based on technological secrets and powers based on the such? Or some guy that works there making extra income from work? You be the judge.

If anyone has a letter or any of the books please scan.

the 3357H Southpark Place address is one of the addresses of a direct mailing services called Client Logic. So nothing to do with Microsoft.

You might want to search the forum for the Nouveau Tech Society this looks like the same thing.

A while back I received the package from "Nouveau"... very well done recruiting method for some self help "secret to life" type of program. Of course will a back ground in sales I can tell you its sole purpose was to get you to spend the $900 plus dollars on this package.. within the time limit of course. It was followed by a second chance letter. I have used its methods in other projects I have worked on.. Very effective for those whom want to believe. But over all I am confident it is more of a scam than anything else.

I have gotten letters from them asking for 139.00 for a 2000 page book. It's the same address, but they are asking me to join the Illuminati. I have "amazing talents that" they found by reviewing my profile. From what profile, I don't know. I read up as much as I could find and the Illuminati scare the crap out of me. I then looked up the address and it brought me to Rip Off Report: Nouveau Tech Society - Neo-Tech Society ripoff. So I am very leary about it now. More so than before, only because it scared me before. They have sent me at least 4 letters from anonymous authors who are rich and famous and so on. They have given me a deadline to send in the money for the book and say that if I don't, the offer will never be available again. But they keep sending me letters. Go figure.

Just to keep everything in one pile...
