UPDATE (4/20/19): Anonymous wrote that "Phoenix Journals exist" at the domain phoenixjournals.org. This domain name was registered to GoDaddy.com in February, 2019. The Contact Us page on the website suggests emailing the "support team: contact@academicpublishing.online." GoDaddy reports that the domain name academicpublishing.online "expired on 4/2/2019 and is pending renewal or deletion."
A website at the new domain phoenixjournals.org does exist, at least as a shell. It lists the journals enumerated in the continuing spam. But the journals appear to be no more real today than when I searched for them four months ago. Today, I looked for the contents of the first five journals.There are none. The "archives" are blank, and there are no editors listed. The About Us page contains three paragraphs that also appear, word for word with the same grammatical and spelling errors, on the About Us page for Discourse Journals (from Nigeria, according to its website).

ReplyDeletehttp://flakyj.blogspot.com/2018/05/donnish-journals.html
I received a similar e-mail, but hete the word "scholarly" was replaced with "educational".
ReplyDeleteIt seems the email is still in circulation - I received an email today
ReplyDeleteThe e-mail is circulating I received on on the 22 March 2019.
ReplyDeleteThis email is still circulating, received on 8 March 2019.
ReplyDeleteI think the Phoenix Journals exist. Check it out at www.phoenixjournals.org
ReplyDeleteThe website is secured and verified. I think you did not look properly in google search results.
I received this: is it real or fake?
ReplyDeleteIt is with great pleasure that i announce to you that your application
dated 12th May 2019 to be a reviewer in the Phoenix Journal of Business
and Finance Management Research has been granted. The journal has
offered you the position of a Reviewer.
You are expected to confirm your application as well as verify your
academic qualifications contained in your resume by visiting our website
using the link below;
https://phoenixjournals.org/verification.php
Smells like phishing. (1) Did you apply? If not, why are they contacting you without knowing your qualifications as a reviewer? (2) This journal has no issues and no editorial board. (3) The IP address for phoenixjournals.org is 107.161.23.203; this server reportedly is the source of brute force attacks and spam. See https://ip-46.com/107.161.23.203.
DeletePhoenix journals is a fraud. I receive the same emails selecting me as payed reviewer. However, to fully complete registration as reviewer they request me to do an eletronic verification of academic qualifications, and suggest Landmark Academic Services which has a charge of USD 70 for eletronic verification. Unfortunately, I made the payment and I never receive emails again. The website of both Phoenix journals and Landmark does not exist anymore. Is a complete predatory journal.
ReplyDeletenow the journals of publisher Phoenix have moved to https://phoenixpub.org/
