So far, The New American Journal has four papers posted on the website www.najmed.org. No, make that three -- the fourth link returns a Page Not Found error. The three are from China. The Editor-in-Chief is said to be "Binglin ZHU, MD, PhD, University at Buffalo USA." None of the 49 alleged editorial board members are in the U.S. The instructions for authors begin "The document needs to be prepared in English language."
The New American Journal seems to be linked to United Prime Publications and Universal Access Publications (uapublications.com).The domain name najmed.us is registered to Yruva Williams and the organization named "Nevada" with the email url oncology@clinicofonco.info and address 500 N. Rainbow Blvd, Suite 300, Las Vegas NV, and telephone 775-515-7689. That address and telephone is used by United Prime and Universal Access. Yruva owns the domain names of dozens of their journals. Najmed.org's registration data is obscured, but the website's pretense at contact information is a sufficient giveaway. It says, "Get In Touch: Las Vegas, Nevada 89107 USA +1 7755157689."

ReplyDeleteDid you notice that the home-page is full of Lorem Ipsum?
"Hillary Farnham
Toward Better-Quality Compounded Drugs — An Update form

In fact when you search for the "author" and "title" of this dummy paper, they lead to *another* dummy webpage, http://amentotech.com/htmls/amentojourn/
This is a template set up by a software company in Pakistan, as an example of the sites they can create for start-up parasitical publishers.
I am not saying that the scammers running "New American Journal" hired Amentotech to design their site... the company would probably do a more professional job. More likely, the scammers found the example template and simply pirated it, but they forgot to replace all the Lorem Ipsum with more convincing filler material because they're cockwombles.
A number of these spams have been observed in unmanned spamtraps. The corresponding domains have been listed on the Spamhaus DBL for months, it appears.
