Is this like some kind of new trend where there is a big market for networking\/recognition type of events that people are actively trying to capitalize on? This e-mail was especially confusing as the wording sounded as if I somehow joined this.<\/p>\n

Just like with that other offer I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m guessing there is some kind of sales pitch in all of this. Another thing that caught my attention is how all of these companies or organizations that are sending these unsolicited e-mails appear to be residing from New York. Is there like some kind of current government grant or incentive to encourage these types of start ups down there?<\/p>\n
Similarly, they initially want you to fill out a form it seems with a bunch of personal information and the website itself seems to be pretty new considering the literature implies that the organization has been operating for awhile. <\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kind of humorous how they mentioned that as a benefit of joining you can use them as a 3rd party endorsement for things like your resume or that you can announce your acceptance on press releases. Guess I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be receiving that prestigious plaque that they mentioned about as I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll pass.<\/p>\n
