The Secret Society

This promotion appears to have been around for around for at least 10 years and is known by many names. The Secret Society, The Nuova Tech Society, Neo–Tech Society, The N T Society, Neo-Tech Publishing Company Inc and Nuova Tech Publishing Company are all one and the same and use the same two addresses in Nevada USA.

All of the above appear to instigate a form of book ‘promotion’, one that appears to be widespread as members from the USA, UK, Australia and even Norway have all reported it.

The ‘promotion’ seems to take a predictable form.

An individual first receives a letter which appears to be an invitation to join them and discover truth and knowledge. The individual is asked to return an answer to this invitation within a certain amount of days and receive free information.

If a reply is given then the individual will receive a pamphlet. This pamphlet contains little extra information than that which was in the original letter but it also contains an order for a book which cost £135.

The Advertising Standards Authority held a ruling in May 2000 against Neo Tech. The ASA asked for proof of benefits and said that Neo-Tech had ‘not provided evidence, other than anecdotal to show the guaranteed earnings, improvement to health and other benefits that have been or could be attained’.

Vale residents are warned to avoid sending money to this promotion as although the book may be received, the claims contained in the publication are unlikely to be substantiated and it is highly unlikely that Trading Standards will be able to assist in obtaining a refund of monies spent.
