"Elite American Business Society" or "American Society of Business Leaders" Scams

Online users, be aware of unsolicited email messages with the subject: "Experience The Benefits Of Membership In An Elite American Business Society." The email messages are being sent by scammers, which claim that the recipients are invited to apply to the so-called exclusive American Society of Business Leaders, to collect their potential victims' personal information. Once the scammers have collected their potential victims' information, they will contact them in order to trick them in paying for a membership service that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to a society that doesn't exist. Therefore, recipients of the same email messages are asked to delete them, and should not follow the instructions in them.

Online users who have already made payment to the fraudulent or non-existent organization created by scammers, should contact their banks or credit card companies and let them know that they have unknowingly used their credit cards on a fraudulent website.
