Protect yourself from payment fraud

IQVerse is an independent, non-commercial academic publisher. Access to our work is free. We do not sell subscriptions or memberships, we never ask you to pay, and we do not accept payments from anyone. Our only official website is the domain you are on right now.

A website called iqverse.university, operated by Metricdrive Inc, is charging people for subscriptions through the payment provider recurly.com. It is not operated by IQVerse and has no connection to us. Because its name resembles ours, some search engines and AI assistants have wrongly linked the two. We publish this notice so that readers are not misled or defrauded.

Any invoice, subscription notice, or payment request is never from IQVerse — without exception — because we never charge for anything. Genuine communication from us comes only from our official domain, shown in the footer of every page. If a message asks for money to access our work, it is fraudulent.

Do not pay. Refuse the request and do not share your card or bank details. If you have already paid, contact your bank or card provider immediately to dispute the charge and, where possible, request a refund.

Reporting the fraudulent site helps protect others. Report iqverse.university to the search engine where you found it (for example through Google Safe Browsing or Microsoft Bing’s report tools) and to your local consumer-protection or anti-fraud authority. If you were charged, also report the transaction to your bank.
