I have had very negative experience with the OMICS Group. I foolishly agreed to be in the Editorial Board of one of their journals. At some point I became suspicious and started calling to their office in Nevada. There is no OMICS office at the address they show. It is an office of some law company, which represents interests of OMICS Group, as well as hundreds of other foreign companies in US. The whole OMICS Group company with all its employees is located in India. They hide themselves behind fake non-Indian names (I communicate via e-mail with Gracia Oliver). It is not much difference between these guys and the criminals who pretend that they were a model and duped a physics professor from North Carolina (there was a fascinating article in NYTimes Magazine about the story: the professor ended up in jail in Argentina convicted for drug trafficking). After finding very damaging posts on the web about the OMICS Group I started bombarding them on all e-mail addresses and phone numbers I could find demanding to remove my name from the Editorial Board. No result. Then I composed an email describing what I learned and sent it to the Editor-in-Cheif of the journal asking him to help me to remove my name from the board. No response. Then I sent email to all board members and cc to all OMICS addresses I could find. This time is worked: they removed my name from their web site. A couple of board members followed me and also quit. But very few.
My advice to everybody: do not deal with the OMICS Group in any form or shape.
PS: I use alias because I still feel ashamed that I allowed to be duped in the first place.
