    Resolved
    I was invited to apply for a membership in the NSLS as a student at ***********************. I received a flyer in the mail stating that due to my GPA, I had been selected. The flyer also claimed that as a member, I would have access to letters of recommendation and scholarships. There was a membership fee to join. I was very happy to pay the fee, believing that it made me a full-fledged member. After all, that is what the flyer lead me to believe. Here is where I will admit an error on my part. Instead of just reading the flyer, I should have researched this organization. But why would a college National Honor Society that had a picture of ***************************** as a member need further investigation? This is where they count on your naivety as a Freshman. The organization is very clever in their sales pitch with this flyer. Paying the membership fee does NOT guarantee that you become a full-fledged member! It was only after I paid that I was made aware of several other steps I needed to take to actually be eligible for induction as a member, and to qualify for the benefits that were advertised in the flyer. If you go to their website, it explains that the membership fee is actually to keep the organization funded. Not for your membership. So why wasnt that made clear on the flyer that I initially received?? Because they want your money, and are less likely to get it if they tell you the truth from the start! I have also found out that my 3.75 GPA meant nothing. Students with a 2.8 GPA received the invitation. They just make you feel special as part of the sales pitch. I have sent emails over the last several months with no reply. When I finally did get a reply from the campus contact, I was told my message had been forwarded and she assumed they had contacted me. Please do something about their advertising tactics. They are preying on naive, trusting students. They have probably made profit from those who have just given up. This is horrible.

    When I joined today, the upsells began immediately. To complete an induction process, they immediately encourage you to purchase extra courses listed for thousands with, of course, a steep discount so you only have to pay hundreds more. What a deal, right? *sarcasm* The scholarship partner site, ScholarsApp, is broken and clunky with links that end at 404 messages and VFW scholarships only available to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. To access the NSLS scholarships, customer service informed me I would have to complete the induction process (see upsell above). Total scam imo. I've requested a refund. We'll see if it happens or if I'll be disputing the charges with my bank and coming back here to file a complaint with the BBB. Buyer beware and stay away...
