Baltimore: If you’ve been invited to join a secret society, you’re not alone. the author says this is a personal letter just to you, not a mass mailing, but wmar-2 news mallory sofastaii has heard from dozens of people who were sent the same letter.
She reported these mysterious shipments a few years ago.
These cards indicate that members who join will experience great wealth, love, and even psychic abilities. however, the key to unlocking these riches and powers is not free. there is a cost to obtain his book of secrets.
sofastaii talked to two people who paid for them.

jolinda white and harold romero were intrigued by the letters that promised to deliver what everyone wants.
“Happiness is something that really sells,” Romero said.
plus, access to information that could put “$100,000 in cash” in your pocket in just a few weeks, according to the letter.
“I thought that was stupid, but then I thought, ‘what the hell.’ I had a credit card, so I bought it,” White said.
how it worksfirst, potential members receive an invitation in the mail with an offer to receive a 55-page package containing the “biggest secrets” free of charge. these are supposedly stories of members who went from broke to riches.
but then they tell you that the package is in code. you’ll need the 1,200-page manuscript to unlock the secrets.
Even though the letter says it’s free, an order form is included asking for payment of $140, a $100 discount off the original price.
white and rosemary paid for it.
then another letter arrives stating that the book you bought is back in code. the second manuscript fully reveals the ancient powers of the richest people in history and costs $99.50.
but white received an additional letter informing him that the second manuscript is also in code. and mark hamilton neothink’s final third manuscript at 2,800 pages decodes each manuscript for $250, half the original price of $500.
“this is not in code!” exclaimed the white. “You’re saying the same rubbish over and over again. and then, before I can finish the book, I got the letter right, now you need something to decode it. I almost died you have to be kidding me.”
white added that the book is based on the laws of attraction and the use of positive thinking to create positive experiences. These are beliefs that Romero shares with the writer.
“I didn’t see any change. Like, I know it’s not going to happen overnight, but I think the principle is valid,” Romero said.
You feel you got what you paid for.
“From what I have read, there is coherence, there is logic,” Romero added.
He said he keeps an open mind and paid $99.50 for the next installment.
“so, at this point, do you think there is a society?” sofastaii asked Romero. “There’s nothing to tell me there isn’t,” Romero replied.
Who is behind these letters?The real secret seems to be around the company that sends these emails. how big is this operation? And who is in charge?
sofastaii began with mark hamilton, the author mentioned in the manuscripts.
She emailed him several times but never received a response and phone numbers linked to him through public records are no longer in service.
the phone number on the order form is connected to a payment processor, which claims to be a separate company from “the company”.
mailing addresses are all to PO Boxes. in utah, ohio and texas.
hamilton is linked to addresses in henderson, nevada, and that is the location listed on bank statements for payments to “the partnership”. there is also a phone number on the bank statements, but it doesn’t work.
“It’s not even the money that bothers me. It’s the time, the time you know I spent,” White said. “but I was vulnerable, I hadn’t felt well for a long time, so maybe this is my answer, you know, for good health and all that good stuff. and no. no, it wasn’t.”
if you bought all the hamilton books, the total is $500.
wmar-2 news has been unable to verify claims that members became millionaires after purchasing these manuscripts.
