My roommate just got a letter from a company called Nouveau Tech Society. The letter is actually rather humorous. It proclaimed that it knew things about him and that he was one of the "chosen" few. They were offering ancient secrets to wealth, relationships, and power. To me it sounded a lot like the Stonecutter Episode from the Simpsons. They offered a couple of facts to proove the legitimacy. One was in the delivery, it came first class not third class mail.(although at a discounted rate of $.292 ) Another was that it is just a "personal letter" and that it was free. As with anything that is even slightly intriguing I went to Google.
I found this info on www.abovetopsecret.com. It explains how the scam works.
1/An individual first receives a letter which appears to be an invitation to join them and discover truths and knowledge.The individual is asked to return an answer to this invitation within a certain amount of days and receive free imformation.
2/If a reply is given then the individual will receive a pamphlet.This pamphlet contains little extra imformation than that which was in the original letter but it also contains an order for a book which cost over $130.
3/If the book is bought further letters are received offering more books.We don't know how many more books.
The Novatech Society far from being a secret society are very much involved with e-books and are closely tied to a place called Neo-Tech publishing company and another "front" Novus Tek
So,if you receive this letter from the Novatech Society and you are curious about what exactly it's all about then we can tell you now before you get embroiled in a marketing ploy.
The Novatech Society are trying to sell you books for an inflated price

This is another feeble attempt by the Trudeau group to get people to order an endless number of books promising many kinds of riches.Do not fakk for it.
The contradiction in the experience between humor and disdain at such rediculous commentaries makes me wonder if the blogosphere will facilitate the rise of open honest reality or a new type of collectivist consciousness wrapped up in it's own arse.
I am a Neo-Tech customer. Scam? Define scam for me. Inflated book prices? If a book was written with over 1000 pages taking over 35 years and integrated key insights from most areas of human knowledge throughout history, how much would it be worth? What is the standard of judgements of 'inflated' prices?
People pay far more for courses that they receive a fraction of the value from compared to Neo-Tech.
Ah, Nathan Shaw, what a surprise! I can swear that I saw you post the exact same message elsewhere. Man, even the typo in the 12th word is exactly the same! So I guess that's how Neo-Tech's "honest reality" operates? Sell "absolutely free" stuff for US$140? Repeat your lies all over the web and hope nobody notices?
By the way: down with Neo-Tech, all hail Neo-TeX! ;-)
I purchased the book. Actually, getting a 1,000+ page book for $139, it isn't a bad price. The "secret society" stuff made me laugh, but there is still good information in the book. No matter, to me, it is all academic. As with other Keven Trudeau publications, it must be taken with a grain of salt. Even funnier, over 100 million copies were printed in 2007, alone, so exactly how secet is this society, anyway?
