Online Freemasonry

Unless the site is an official web site of a physical lodge recognized by a state Grand Lodge I would be very leery of internet Free Masonry.

I found out that I am not the only one to apply to my local Lodge. They also had a middle aged gentleman apply and when he did, he was asked about his previous history. He informed them that he has been a Past Master of 4 Blue Lodges. He has his 32nd in SR and is a member of Shriners and other bodies. The local WM was impressed and asked how long he had been in the fraternity. He said & I quote "I have been a brother for 8 months now"

He had spent $10,000 on an online course and never stepped into an actual Lodge.
I can see how someone could be duped into paying for the degrees online and believe that he was a 32 degree SR Mason. People have been conned into crazier things. What doesn't ring true is that someone could be duped into thinking he had been Master of 4 lodges. You can fool someone into buying a fake engineering degree, but I doubt you could fool someone into believing they had been director of an aerospace company.
