Is The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) a Scam?

My daughter was "accepted" to join the NSHSS, except she has to pay to join it, and this organization was founded by a relative of the very Nobels who created the Nobel prizes. Could it possibly be a scam?

Around March 2024, someone from NSHSS called and wanted to talk about my video. At first she was nice, but then she asked a question but, before I could give it, she went into attack mode and threatened legal action. I was quite offended and pointed out that she had not allowed me to answer the question, and that she was being aggressive for no reason. She immediately backed off. I told her to have someone call me when they were willing to be reasonable. I haven't heard anything since.

This video does not accuse them of being scammers. I do not have proof of that. This is information only - you will have to decide what to do if your child gets an invitation.
