I tried to check the reality of this “Award”. I invented the company, which don’t have any real assets, except my personal e-mail and mobile phone number. After some time I got invitation to awarding by e-mail for a non-existent company. After my answer on this e-mail I got the phone call and man said that I need to pay $5000 for my participating in ceremony and getting a prize. After my refusal he said that they can send my award and diploma by mail and this cost about $2000.<br />I think The Bizz is a scam and it looks like a shop to sell a prizes and diplomas.<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
