I get things like this fairly often, but I don't recall any of them ever offering to "become your friend if necessary" before. How heartwarming!Dear [GRADUATE STUDENT] ,

I got a similar message.
Do you think it is a joke or something like this?
I got a similar message.
I think is a joke.
I also got the same message )) Did you try to clear up any details about this journal?
This is not a joke. This is a new journal which will publish its first issue this month. I have called them and know that their website is under construction now. We can know whether it is a joke or not when its first issue is released.
I don't know but they're website is still under construction. If it has been under construction for the longest time, I don't think this is legit.
Unfortunately, Journal of Business and Economics appears to be a scam. I responded in April, 2011, my paper was accepted (without revision or benefit of reviewer comments), and I just received my acceptance letter today (Aug 1st). The letter outlines the journal policy - $50.00 per page that I am requred to pay to cover "publication costs" ...
By the way, far as I can see, the journal still does not have a website. Academic, beware!!
Ah, well, live and learn I suppose.
Yours,
Dr. William P. Neace
it's still making the rounds - I just got one today (I'm at UNC Charlotte) and it was signed by "Jessica." I found your post by trying to track down the journal or the publisher.
cheers
The message is still making the rounds as I received one today (I'm at UNC Charlotte). I found this post by trying to track down the journal/publisher - no luck on that.
I am co-editor of a legitimate mid-tier journal and I assure you that we would never send out an email such as this.
$50 per page? wow.
Hi,
I also received a similar message from supposed Journal of business and economics: "This is Journal of Business and Economics (ISSN 2155-7950), a professional journal published by Academic Star Publishing Company, USA. We have learned your paper ..."
I've looked for the website but I was not able to find a list of published article at http://academicstar.us
So I've ask for more information about the journal website and I get: "Our websites are now revising, which will be finished soon.
Journal of Business and Economics (ISSN 2155-7950), is a new international academic journal who publishes papers from all over the world, we haven’t got any advertisement systems or endowments either. So we have to charge some publication fees from the authors for the editing, the printing, sometimes reviewing, the postage and so on. We hope you can understand and support us! Usually the flat price is US$50 per page. However we can give you a discount according to the quality of your paper."
Considering the website seems to have been under construction since at least november 2010 (according to Willson) I am very suspicious about this publishing offer.
Its 100% scam. In reality there is one abscohost indexed publication titled 'journal of business & economics' ISSN 2075-6909. You can visit www.au.edu.pk/jbe/ for varification. Regards - Farooq Rasheed.
I Got a similar message. And I am happy that Betty "wish to become [my] friend if necessary" :-)

I got one too just a day ago. Sad to know they are still trying to rip poor phd students
Yup, I got one too.
The funny English tipped me off. Plus the paper they offered to publish had nothing to do with business and economics :P
I really wonder how this scam works.
I received similar message today... Thanks to you people who have shared their personal experiences and have helped me to save my research work...
I got one from:
Journal of Computer Science, Technology and Application computer@academicstar.us
It seems that they are going for transdisciplinary scams.
Thank´s for your post!
I just got this email today, from the Journal of Modern Education Review (ISSN 2155-7993)
A quick google search brought me to your blog post.
I got a similar message from Aaron last Tuesday and was considering seriously till today. Just before sending a reply, I thought of doing a search and what a discovery.
My sincere thanks to everyone for sharing your stories.
I just got this scam email as well. It appears they just watch for conference presentations and let you know that they are interested in publishing your paper (obviously, for big bucks). I was looking for information on them when I found this site, so now I won't waste any more of my time trying to see if they are listed in Cabell's.
Thanks
CJ
Thank you for posting this information! I have never heard of this journal. I appreciate that everyone took time to post about this scam as it saves time for the rest of us!!!
Many thanks,
Agida
I got a similar message from Aaron Tuesday 4th December, I thought of doing a search and I found your blog. I really thank everyone for your posts since you are saving my research work!!!!
Thanks to everybody!!!
I have also got an e-mail from Betty today, 11.12.12 to publish in Modern Education Review with the same content as you discuss here. It sounded too god to be true. Unfortunately. Thank you for taking time to inform everybody. Thank you for the open internet!!
Sol-Britt from Finland
Mine (received about 10 days ago) is from Amy and has a Yahoo email address at the end as one of the options to send my paper. I wonder how someone is smart enough to create a spam that can generate him (I'm sure it's a 'him' because he insists on using the names of Amy and Beth!) thousands of dollars ($50 per page ripped from the author?!?) and at the same time be stupid enough to put a Yahoo email address at the end. Interesting ...
He also needs to work a little bit harder to perfect the English in the clearly auto-generated email message sent.
I received one yesterday as well, from the Journal of Modern Education Review (ISSN 2155-7993), Academic Star Publishing Company. Clare wishes to 'become friends if necessary'. If only!
I also got the same message too. I think its a big scam.
Just now, I got the similar message from the Journal of Computer Science, Technology and Application (ISSN 2155-7969). The content of the letter is totally same. Obviously it's scam.
keep vigilance.
Tao
Fascinating! Amy wants to publish my paper in her "Journal". Oddly, the paper she wants to publish has already been published in many other places and they allegedly only accept "previously unpublished" works. The scam must pay off somehow!
Still doing the rounds ... received this today:

I'm not in the USA,!
Same here, from our common "friend" Amy... Both me and my co-author got the exact same mail. Email addresses and names clearly ripped from a conference site of an academic conference that both of us attended (over a year ago).
Many thanks for sharing your stories, I got the same thing from "Amy" last week, so you saved me a lot of time. I thought it must be a joke when I could not find them listed even in Cabells. FYI, the latest version is signed by just "Amy" with no last name or title (what journal editor does that!), and then her email address is to "Andy@..". See below. This is definitely a scam.... or else the lowest ranked journal on the planet!

What do you think?
I got one the other day. However, before finding this blog, I checked "EconLit" and the journal of business and economics is listed in there!! It definitely sounds like a scam but how do we explain the indexing? Can someone please explain. I thought EconLit only indexes legit pubs.
Thanks,
Sue
I received same email today. But I found this link http://marketing-nsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/JBE-2012-31.pdf
It has same journal name and ISSN number. So is it real??
I got similar email two days ago:
This is Journal of Business and Economics (ISSN 2155-7950), a professional journal published by Academic Star Publishing Company, USA. We have learned your paper"Corporate Social Responsibility in Nigerian Banking Industry: When Will The Lip-Service Games End? " in the Thirteenth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Business. We are very interested in your paper and want to publish your paper in the Journal of Business and Economics.
It seems they are on the look out for international conferences and unsuspecting authors/researchers to rip-off. I became more curious when I read through the mail and saw the grammatical construction.
Thanks for this your blog, researchers who bother to carry out a fact finding search before sending out their papers for publication will not fall prey to this scam.
Idowu, Abiola.
I also got an invitation to publish after presenting at a conference. Technically speaking, it's not a spam since they have at least one issue published. However, if you start browsing through that issue, you soon realize it's not a place where you want your paper to be published. I also called the phone number included in the e-mail. The person who picked up the phone could hardly speak any English.
Hi all, and thanks for your posts! I received this today (from Aaron) and it raised many red-flags. The 'journal' (with ISSN in search) does NOT appear in my university's database - so check there to confirm legitimacy.
Also, if the email references a conference you've attended, you may want to notify the conference organizers of the spam publishing email that is using their event to solicit unwary wanna-be published (like me!).
Best regards,
April

And if any journal says it wants to be your 'freind' if necessary...watch out.
Avoid at all costs. Any journal that wants you to pay is to be treat with a healthy does of cynicism. I have a policy of NEVER paying to get someone to accept something I'm already giving them for free and which they'll get my colleagues in the academic profession to review for free.
Also received a similar message from Aaron (July 24, 2013) to publish in Journal of business and economics. Thanks for your post or I won't know that this is a spam. Also searched for their ISSN number in my university library but couldn't find any. -- Suzi from Melbourne

thanx for sharing..i have got an email too from amy :)
I got one e-mail too... they´re sending to all te world and countries! Well... so strange! It they´re seriously, they should do a trustly website and partnership with the congress & all..
Got an email from Amy too...same text. If you think of it, the idea is not so 'amazing'. It's targeting young researchers by using the 'needs' of the system - meaning that in order to 'be' or 'become' someone in the academia you have to publish. :)

betty@academicstar.us, computer@academicstar.us", après une vérification, j'ai constaté que beaucoup de personnes ont reçu ce genre d'email, je vous conseille d’être prudent, c'est de l'arnaque, un homme averti en vaut deux!
i got a very similar mail from Claire of the same publishing house! the spam is still doing the rounds. Is there any way we can report this to any authority? they might be stealing original papers from unsuspecting scholars!!!
It looks like a spam. Please be careful.
Thank you, everybody for your comments. I just receive the similar e-mail like this today. Now, I know how I should do continue.
Thank you so much for your benefit comments.
I also got the same info and email. i am worried if this will listed in Thomson and refuters' list? Please let me know..Himmy
Hi, I just got the same message....it's true that this line tipped me off "Hope to keep in touch by email and publish some papers or books from you and your friends in USA. As an American academic publishing group, we wish to become your friends if necessary." and also the email was sent by Aaron with no last name, how weird.
I received the same message last week. Initially I had been happy because a magazine from another country was interested by my article. Researching further about the magazine found this blog. Thank everyone for your posts.
I received a similar message 2 days ago, but I don't think it's a spam. If you search for the journal you will find a web page of it with details about it and you can download previous published articles. It's a peer reviewed journal, which is good for beginner researchers and Ph.D students who want to publish their works.

Recently I found a journal article published in Journal of Modern Education Review
http://www.academicstar.us/UploadFile/Picture/2014-3/201432073331534.pdf
I had the impression that this article never went through any review. "An empirical analysis" without even mentioning the data source, population/sample etc? Really weird.
What's more, when I tried to track the authors if they existed, I found that the first two authors are actually known researchers in their field. Looking at their publication lists and grants awarded to them, I wonder if they even knew their names were used in a scam journal.
Thank you all for sharing the stories- again I wonder why the scammers are still around after lots of testimonies coming out for more than 2 years.
And they're still spamming... I just received a similar email today. Thanks for all the warnings!
Another "Journal" name to include: Modern Environmental Science and Engineering
They are really quick, as the Conference I attended was last month.
Thank you all for the information!
Cheers
They seem to have some legitimate articles in the issue links on their Web site and some faculty people listed on their editorial review board.
Can someone make a comment other than just reposting their solicitation letter? I am reluctant to publish something in a place that's a scam, but the fact that they ask for fees, while not ideal - this is common in some disciplines, btw - is not a complete barrier. That they solicited articles is also not an issue. The speed of the response is a little surprising and calls into question the thoroughness of their review.
Does anyone have actual knowledge of this publication and whether it's a scam, as opposed to supposition?
I got a similar message.

I also just received an invitation to publish... In addition to everything else that has been said, they are included on the predatory journal "watch list" (www.scholaryoa.com/publishers is where the actual list is but browse website for more info on how a journal makes the predator list. I suggest responding in the following fashion:
"To whom it may concern,
I regret to inform you that I am not currently interested in submitting my work to your journal. Please refrain from any uninvited contact or solicitation of papers from me in the future, if I should decide your journal is an appropriate fit for one of my future publications then I will submit my paper at that time.
"
If you were particularly annoyed then you could add a line about not wanting to be friends ;)
The site is putting the same rubbish in their website, e.g. http://www.academicstar.us/ArticleShow.asp?ArtID=341 (Upcomingconferences – central nervous system acting effects…)
http://www.academicstar.us/ArticleShow.asp?ArtID=389 (How to register a membership site)
http://www.academicstar.us/ArticleShow.asp?ArtID=384 (For Personal Customers)
This is truly a highly suspicious company, and they have NO information for authors! http://www.academicstar.us/ArticleShow.asp?ArtID=386
They are still sending this messages, just received one from Journal of Business and Economics (ISSN 2155-7950)
Thank everybody for comments and blog!
How do you know that this is a scam email? I can see the website and published journal.
You should have evidence before you told others...
Thanks for starting this blog! I received two e-mails this week (one in my Gmail and the other in my university e-mail inbox) from the same journal (Journal of Business and Economics, ISSN 2155-7950). The e-mail quoted a paper that my co-author and I are working on and recently presented at a conference. It said that they had learned about our paper "in PhD Conference 2015" which sounds a bit weird (the full name of the event was Warwick Economics PhD Conference 2015). As my colleague says, 'no respectable journal is going to ask you to publish your paper like that'.
Received such email....thanks for all your comments which makes me conclude that it is a fake
They are still going on. I just got a similar mail from Amy, who wishes to be my friend, if necessary...
Dear friends,
I have a sad story. I have a friend, a 70-years-old Professor from Russia. She does not speak foreign languages and asked me to edit her article. I did it. She sent to this publishing place and paid quite a big sum, esp. in Russia, a couple of hundred dollars. Certianly nothing happened. She keeps asking me to write the publishing house but I understand it is just a fraud, or, to put it rough, a day-light robbery of an elderly lady. If only it had occurred to me earlier to check the validity of the American Star Review!
Your blog has given me that thing which I never expect to get from all over the websites. Nice post guys! cheap research paper writers
I received also two of these invitations from:
-Journal of AgriculturalScience and Technology A & B
-Modern Environmental Science and Engineering (ISSN 2333-2581)
some parts of the email are exactly same text! what made me suspect of not legitimate email. I answered them vaguely and they even replied to me insisting they want to publish my paper or to send them my CV for review for them,...
Right now I wonder if they are a fraud email fakely pretending to be representatives of these journals or if it is just a cheap quality journal that hire some-one who copy paste these kind of messages. Anyway, I don't intend to publish anything in those two.
How can one know if they are legitimate?
Hi, everyone. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've also just received the same kind of email from the 'Journal of Business and Economics'. It seems clear they're a bogus journal. I wonder how they're allowed to maintain an ISSN number.
Cheers,
Manuel
Needless to say, I just received that 'canned letter' after attending a conference last week. They had my email address, so it is curious where they are scrapping that information from on the Internet after conferences. Beware!
I'm not going to lie. I could use some links for SEO purposes. On the bright side, you'll be helping save countless souls from months if not years of torment and poverty. Thanks.
I just received the letter. thank you for your comments here! They saved my time and efforts!!
Same as all of you, after attending a conference 2 weeks ago, I've received an e-mail this morning from the fake journal "Modern Environmental Science and Engineering" by Academic Star Publishing Company, USA. Tracking the journal I've run into this post, thanks for your comments!
Thank you all for sharing! I recently received a very similar message from "Journal of Modern Education Review" (signed by "Cindy").
No.. This journal is not a fake journal but a peer review journal. I know this because my article was published by this journal.
Cool... Thanks for sharing guys... I wonder I am the lucky want who get that email from Modern Education Review (ISSN 2155-7993)... Hahhah... The fact it's a fake... :|
Thanks for sharing this information. Quite helpful! But I was wondering, how come do they have the ISSN number and a website http://www.academicstar.us/ if they are not legitimate? O.o I received the mail from 'Modern Environmental Science and Engineering (ISSN 2333-2581)' and checked in the website for any published papers and got surprised there were 12 issues of Volume 1 (year 2015) Are they legitimate now? :P :D
Yep, spam again:

I got one today. Amazing that its been going around for years.
Same as all of you, after attending a conference almost 2 years ago, I've received an e-mail this morning from the fake journal "Modern Environmental Science and Engineering" by Academic Star Publishing Company, USA. Tracking the journal I've run into this post, thanks for your comments!
I got one today and googled for it. I am really suprised that they are sending emails for years. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks for sharing the information. I got a message today. Amazing this is going on for so many years.
I got the same e-mail today. Thank you for your comments. Shame on them for trying to scam poor PhD students who just want to prove themselves and publish papers.
I got an email on 14 Spet 2016, thanks for all your comments. I am not going to waste my time on this journal.
Thank you for your comments. I am not going to waste my time on this journal.
I got a similar email from Modern Environmental Science and Engineering (ISSN 2333-2581) with the same template as with all of you :)) I just attended an international conference last week and so they emailed me just today. Thank you for your post and comments! You have warned us well :)
I got an E-Mail from Modern Environmental Science and Engineering on November 21st. Thanks for warning. More than 6 years by now, incredible.
I got the same email just yesterday, I cant believe some people keep tking advantage o poor desperate undergrads... anyway thank yu for the info!
It's February 2017 and I also got a similar message from Modern Environmental Science and Engineering. I presented my research in an international symposium couple months ago. I can't believe this is going for years. Thanks everyone for sharing their own experiences!
I agree! I also got one by the end of February 2017 referring to a paper I presented in the beginning of 2016 at a conference! I wish everyone to be very careful!
I also got exact same email as yours, just 4 hours ago. Honestly i was very excited and planned to send my latest papers later, luckily my google investigation led me to this group discussion. Thank you for your stories. I am grateful, i read this website first, before decided to send my paper. Apparently this predatory journal is still trying to scam people/researchers especially outside USA. Be careful everyone.!!!!
$ 50 a page, wow..That is extortion.

Indians are all around organising fake conferences and fake journals. Beware!!!
I just received an identically-worded e-mail (10 years later than you posted yours). Funnily enough, they also heard about my paper at a conference... which didn't take place due to COVID-19 LOL (also, if you look at their website, FAQ for authors, you'll see a long speech about Buddhism, social work, and good deeds).
Olá sou do Brasil eles também me disseram que viram meu artigo em uma conferencia internacional que eu fiz em 2019. Porém acredito que se trata de fake.
