This really gets on my nerves.

Someone asked about a case in NYC. I don't know of anything recent but they were sued by I guess the D.A. in NYC a while back and they lost and had to pay a nice fine.

Interestingly enough, they advertise on WCBS 880 NYC which we can pick up here in metro Philadelphia. I've heard them on other stations as well.

A few years ago, some of us from sci.astro.amateur even caught them advertising on one of the PBS websites and e-mailed them.

After a while they discontinued mentioning I.S.R.

But.....

A few years ago I noticed that they were advertising on This past year I nmy local PBS affiliates website WHYY TV 12 FM 90.9. This past year they had donated a "Star" to WHYY's "Jubilee of Prizes" Mail fundraiser.

I've e-mailed WHYY and even e-mailed local Astronomy Clubs in the Metro Philadelphia area but have not gotten a response.

I'm not sure exactly what else we can do...

Oh, BTW, Sky & Telescope did write an editorial about them and The International Star Registry did threaten them....

To date, I have not heard anything to that extent.

Clearly they are fraudulent and so is that guy that sells fake Real Estate on the Moon and Mars.

One thing that we could do is to sue them as in a class action suit possibly..but I'm not a lawer and I don't have any money.

See my website and join my club....
