The accompanying photo banner shows torsos with stethoscopes. The website clearly was not prepared by a native English speaker -- "With an undisputed connection, updating yourself and being at knowledge about diverse fields becomes faster and easier." The contact address is 500 Delaware Ave, Ste 1 #1960, Wilmington- 19899. Other firms with the identical address include All American Payday Loans, AFCO American Fire Products Co., Blue Oil Energy, IASISLAB, Intello Group, and Rocksolar Technology. That is only a sampling.

The domain names for Syntax Publishers are hidden behind proxies. UPDATE (1/14/19): The domain spjournals.com, which is registered to Rakesh Tripathy in Delhi, now redirects to syntaxpublishers.org. Thanks to "Clyde Smut" for this discovery connecting Syntax to Sryahwa Publications.

    The address "spjournals.com" now redirects to "syntaxpublishers.org/". It's the same grifter, new operation.

    Tracked that down the hard way, by following IP addresses.
