Thank you Tamara — researching and sharing this information did not take up an insignificant amount of your time. It appears that the IAPWE is trying to get its hooks into secondary metropolitan markets: their bait has appeared recently (and not for the first time) here in the Charlotte (NC) craigslist.com site, to quote:
“We are now hiring writers and editors to work for our organization. Pay starts at $10 per 100 words for writers and $3 per 100 words for editors. To apply please submit a recent sample of your writing here at http://iapwe.org/apply-49362. Due to the volume of applications we have been receiving, you may only receive a reply if your application is accepted.”
I admit it really looked juicy at first glance. I wish there was a legal response available to deliver the complete and final comeuppance that unethical, unprincipled scum like “the IAPWE” truly deserve.
Thanks again for your time and effort!
