I doubt the IEEE spelled the word "Electronics" as "ElectORnics"

Then in an what seems to be an obvious "Photshop" fix, here's the updated one:

And the zoomed in version where you can see remnants of the previous version:

Also, a supposed picture from the IEEE awards. Seems like one person was photoshopped into the picture. Let me know if you can't figure out which one looks odd

These were all images and points made on another board, but based on this, and doing a LOT of reading in the last 12 hours, I'd tend to believe dudanation a lot more than you, Hammer. Sorry.

Nice DD....and Hammer....I think your post just got pounded. Great job.....this really looks like a scam now.

I can't take the credit. Like I said, I found it on another message board, but am not sure if proper etiquette calls for me to reveal that or not. Didn't want to advertise another board on this one, or bring more attention to that person.

Just wanted to put it out there so that others can see it and decide for themselves which to believe.

IDS Worldwide, Inc. Addresses Certain Misleading Online Postings on Internet Message Boards
IDS Announces Posting of CTO Award on IDS Website
11/2/2005 12:44:19 PM

ORLANDO, FL, Nov 02, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD) today announced that in response to several misleading message posts on fringe Internet stock message board sites that IDS' recent press release of an award to IDS CTO Yasar Khawar did not occur, IDS has posted a scanned copy of the picture of the award ceremony, and a copy of the award itself is posted on the corporate website news section. ...

+++++++
That was the day I decided for sure that they were full of it. I lost money before then, wasn't really that much, and had already sold out, and had no intention what-so-ever of getting back in again after seeing that news. It made the PPS go up and I can't believe people would buy because of that.

I'm not so much attacking the actual news releases, it's more the USE OF WORDING in these PR's. It sounds to me like some guy just typing in some random news. Something that I would have just typed up. I'm not going into detail on proving every little point with evidence here because I know my own position on this company and that is it's going to screw over everyone that buys into the news. If you make money off of other people's stupidity that's great, but there isn't going to be some awesome divident that's going to make everyone win. 99% of these people will lose out on this one.

And before I go, recall I said at the beginning "Just my opinion lol" I wasn't presenting evidence of any sort. Even the above PR that i quoted is still not evidence of anything. But it's MY OPINION that that PR points out that the company is crap. I do not know of any good companies out there that would address message boards online to defend their company or a company that would state an ex-dividend in this manner:

"Shareholders must own the stock BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which will be set by the NASD. The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE"

Ok. Capitalizing BEFORE? Why? Because they are saying "Buy us before it's too late!" They should be concerned with their long-termers getting this divy more than a bunch of guys jumping in to grab it and run. IN MY OPINION, this says "Please buy now so our price goes up and we can dillute at higher prices"

And the part about the 2 days before the record date. Once again, capitalized so you just see "Oh damn, I better buy it just incase they announce the ex-date as two days right after the day they announce it"

I recall reading from a board awile ago that stated they need to announce the record date or ex-divy date 10 days in advance.

Anyway. Remember that this is a use of language anlysis and before I was babbling out most of the things I remembered off the top of my head from regarding other boards months ago. I don't really follow this company but I am curious to see what happens and if people actually get a real divy, oops I was wrong.

But IN MY OPINION, the risk does not outweigh the reward.

In my opinion.
Therefore.
No more claiming I am trying to state facts, Hammer.

Hehe. I knew I wasn't just making that up. I didn't know where the data was but there she is.

Let me clarify my position on this stock. I bought in while it was going up *.19. Being new I didn't bother to research it. While holding it overnight I spoke to a family member who works for UBS and asked him his opinion. He told me he only deals with "REAL" stocks and the only advice he gave me was to fully research it and reminded me if something sounds to good to be true it probably is. I was a bit dismayed but in retrospect, it was the best advice I could have gotten. I spent the next 3 hours researching. I sold first thing the next morning * .54, close to a 300% profit. I now have no position in the company and am only posting what I found so that others might have a basis to make an informed decision. I didn't get burned I almost tripled my money but I still felt that other newbies like me should have a chance to read more than just the pump that seemed to drive this stock.

Maybe the guy is legit now but somehow my gut tells me NO. I researched the 995ad.com site because I'm retired from the Auto Sales industry and had a few contacts from dealers listed on the site. They knew nothing about it. As far as the other divisions of the company, well I don't know anyone in Pakistan so there is no way to prove or disprove what is happening over there. But if one portion that can be sourced is false I would say that logically the others would be too.

For those of you who continue to buy and hold for the dividend I wish you luck and hope I'm wrong.

I'm in the same boat as Wally, I got in blind, made some money, and THEN started researching. Definitely not the recommeded course of action, and I learned a lot from this whole experience.

Just trying to get the word out to others who may have been thinking about getting in without doing any research. Some people may read all the warnings and decide it's still worth the risk, but I felt that morally I needed to share what I found.

Good luck to all of you with this stock, and any others.

If you ask me, the only time a penny is worth investing is when it has been crumbling in price and has potential to release news and improve the mood of the stock. Guys that bought in recently made good profits. Back in october I bought in at the same exact price they are at now and watched it drop to half before realizing it was all a lie. This isn't even advice on just this stock, this goes for all stocks. Only buy before news and sell when it comes out. There are rare instances when a penny stock keeps going after good news, and usually it'll drop just as hard shortly after. When a miracle happens, it'll keep growing and growing and growing to a real stock. But that's a miracle and everyone in pennyland buys with intention on taking their profits quickly so that's why it's a miracle. IDWD has already risen because of the BS they released, as far as I'm concered, it's a dead deal to make money off of. I'll bet you the ex-dividend date will be released as very far from now so the price will drop and get a chance to rise again when it gets close, but somewhere down the road we're going to find out that it's an all shares dividend and not real cash and it'll crash all together, yet again. Or maybe just the 2nd part will happen. Who knows. But they aren't paying crap. I doubt they even have that money to begin with.

And they can always just lie all the way through and just never give the divy. The whole point is: Anything an OCTBB releases can be a lie and this one most likely is.

A better way to invest my money rather than holding to IDWD and hoping for a cash dividend would be by using the cash itself as toilet paper and using huge wads of those bills to clean myself thoroughly.

Although I appreciate looking at both sides of the coin, some of the postings being made here are factless and filled with emotional bashing.

Here are some of my viewpoints:

-This company did not "pull a dividend scam" in October. I have been following this company since that time (and not buying until recently), and we are still in the process of the same dividend. I cannot promise whether it will or will not be paid or in what form. I suspect that if it is paid as announced, it will contain at least partially stock.

-It is not a strange practice for a company to announce a future value, the PPS to increase immediately, and then the price to drop back when investors realize that it may take a long time to happen, if it will happen at all. Although this is a bummer for those who buy immediately after the news, it is not a scam but the normal fickle market. This happens with big board stocks as well and it is good to expect it. An old addage is, "Buy the rumor, sell the news."

-It is weird that they photoshopped a guy into that picture. This does not tell me that the company is a sham, but it's weird.

-From the data posted on the CEO, it seems to be the same person. I am going to look into it a little further, but it is something to be concerned about.

-Better to wipe your butt with money? It is often said that the market is driven by fear and greed. This is a statement which intentionally or unintentionally gets people emotional, and shifts over to the fear side, without itself giving facts about the situation. Emotions should be left at home with this kind of stuff.

-The quality of the PR's seems somewhat average to me. They are not awesome, but I have seen worse from better companies. Obviously, they tend to repeat themselves.

-All this said - there is no way that I can lose on this transaction. I have sold enough of my position that I have made a profit, even if the shares I still hold become 100% worthless. If anyone is at all nervous and can do the same, I highly recommend it. It's not worth losing any sleep over the risk/potential reward.

I'm not really bashing anything on emotions. The little I lost before has nothing to do with the reasons why I say this investment is not worth it. I think this company is garbage and have for the most of the time that I've known of it.

We'll see if the dividend happens. Only time will tell who's right but I would not trust this company as any other. Seanwill, I will congratulate you on riding on free shares though. That's the best way to go. You only lose a few earnings when it all goes down. Not a bad deal at all.

I still think they're goin to drag this one, price drops, then boost it back up with news. We'll see.

Only the one from yesterday seems to contain anythign new, but that one sounds very odd. I don't read a lot of these PRs, so it may be comminplace, but there are some quotes in tere that just made me laugh.

From Monday:

http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/060206/0108743.html

ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 6, 2006 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (Other OTC:IDWD.PK - News) today announced that IDS has determined the final valuation of the Special Dividend, related to the sale of a minority interest in IDS Homeland Security Division (HLS), has been increased to a value of $1.10 per common share of IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD). The exponential growth of the HLS Division and new technology being released this quarter for HLS Biometric Encryption technology has led to this increased valuation.

IDS HLS Division expects the patent filing for this technology to be effective this week. This technology will give IDS HLS Division the highest IT Security Product available in the world combining Biometric Technology and IDS HLS Division proprietary 384 Bit Encryption Algorithm. Identity Theft and IT Security breaches have become rampant in the United States. Estimated currently at a $11 Billion market and experiencing double digit growth each of the last three years. IDS HLS Division Biometric USB Flash Drive with 384 Encryption will provide the world's first plug and play solution that makes both hardware and internet backbone data transmission virtually hack proof. Even if a customer's laptop is stolen, the operating system could not be accessed without the authorized users "live beating fingerprint" and the embedded proprietary 384 Bit Algorithm in the biometric USB flash drive. This new technology will allow banks and brokerage houses to offer the most advance IT Security available for their online banking customers. IDS HLS Division will begin shipping these units in the current quarter.

IDS Board of Directors will meet next week on February 8, 2006 set the record date for the special dividend and file the necessary requirements with the NASD. Shareholders must own the stock BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which will be set by the NASD. The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE.


From Tuesday:

http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/060207/0108909.html

ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 7, 2006 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (Other OTC:IDWD.PK - News) today announced that this week the company has received unsolicited offers for equity investments in IDS 995ad.com Division. IDS Board of Directors feels at this time it will keep to its previous announced plan of an IPO for the 995ad.com Division. IDS Board feels that this course of action will produce more beneficial long-term value for IDS Common Stockholders. IDS Board of Directors does not feel that merging with another public company is in the best interests of IDS shareholders at this time. IDS expects to file for an IPO for the 995ad.com Division in the 2nd quarter of 2006. The IPO is projected to raise $ 25 Million for 995ad.com after associated fees and expenses.
IDS 995ad.com Division continues to experience increased traffic with absolutely no advertising at this time. According to web traffic resource, www.ranking.com, IDS portal www.995ad.com is the 38,992 highest traffic site in the world at this time. More importantly, even with no advertising during the latest ranking period 995ad.com's average unique visitors were 4,753 compared to industry veteran Autotrader.com(TM) unique visitor average of 6,307. A difference of only 1554 visitors with IDS running no advertising during the latest ranking period.

IDS' massive national advertising campaign begins this week with direct mail to every auto dealer in Florida and Georgia. IDS will also re-launch its successful Google(TM) campaign which constantly ranked 995ad.com in the Top 6 auto sites on the Internet. This initial campaign will introduce 995ad.com dealer pricing for advertising in the Auto Section. 995ad.com's auto dealer pricing which will allow dealers to place 15 premium position car ads (positioning based on geographic or car model selections) with up to 9 pictures, 7,000 character text ad, email link, website link, audio ad and instant Carfax(TM) IDS portal 995ad.com also will allow dealers, through its proprietary backend management system to change cars, pricing and special offers in real-time at no additional monthly cost. The auto dealer cost for this program is only $99.00 per month, giving auto dealers an approximate 500% monthly saving and greater functionality over the competing online auto sites.

IDS is in the process of reviewing application for its expansion of 995ad.com into over 100 major cities in the United States and expects all 100 cities to be staffed by March 15, 2006. 995ad.com representatives in these cities will present the significant cost savings and functionality of advertising on 995ad.com over the current online Auto, Boat, Truck, Cycle and Real Estate sites.

IDS is also concluding negotiations with a national syndicated Radio show to promote 995ad.com during the morning drive times nationwide. IDS expects to launch this media campaign in the coming weeks.

IDS 995ad.com's Travel Section is now available for live booking at over 70,000 Worldwide Resorts and Hotels. 995ad.com is implementing numerous upgrades to both the software and hardware for the site on a daily basis. In the coming weeks users will be able to use a new mapping service to pinpoint dealers for autos, trucks, boats, houses and apartments. Leading competitors have already proven the business model that assures these companies spend billions each year to advertise their products and services. The 995ad.com business model just gives the customer additionally functionality not available through 995ad.com's competitors and offers greatly reduced prices

Yeah they keep saying the same thing over and over. Why do they keep saying "The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE." So? That's what it usually is. That still doesn't mean they can announce the ex-divy date as tomorrow. Maybe they think their confusing people into thinking they have to buy it before the release of the ex-divy date incase the record date is two days after the announcement. Not a chance in hell on that one, they have to announce it 10 days in advance from what I've read up on. (Will not be posting a fact on this)

Fishy fishy fishy. Mmm... I like fish. But not this overcooked. I prefer sushi anyway lol

Posted by Dudanation on :
 
no it's going to be a postponment for another month I bet. Or the dividend date won't be for a few months. Something to give the price a reason to drop so they can dillute again on another rise when the ex-divy date comes close.

I took a big risk here and grabbed a TINY bit. Only 2500 shares, JIC the divy news is good. If not, I made a killing on the first trip.

Posted by Hammer on :
 
What bothers me more than anything is the fact that they have not released the make-up of the $1.10 dividend (cash, stock or a combination of both). They do not need the NASD's OK to do that. All they have to do is work out the Record Date so the NASD can tell them what the X Date will be. The fact that they have omitted to release such "material" information leads me to question what shareholders would get. It could be a bunch of crap on which they have placed some arbitrary value set by themselves. That does not mean it really IS worth $1.10.
Frankly, that would seem to be contrary to Rule 10b-5-b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934...."omit" and "material".

Posted by wallymac on :
 
I'm going to take a wild stab at this. In reading between the lines. The easiest way for them to issue a dividend and not have to pay it is to spin off HLS and 995ad.com give you a combination of restricted stock in both and keep the stock you now have in IDWD. Remember the PR talked about HLS and 995 being wholly owned subsidaries.

Posted by JHenry on :
 
Even if they announce a record date it means absolutely nothing, just another PR. What's even worse are the people that will actually buy it just because they released a PR on the Record Date. I need to see something more than the PR's with the way this thing has been playing out - I'll wait for the divy/ex-date listed on the NASD website. (They sure are pumping this hard)

IDS Sets Record Date for Special Dividend as March 17, 2006


ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/09/06 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: IDWD) today announced
that, following the IDS Worldwide, Inc. Board of Directors Meeting
yesterday, IDS has set the record date determined for the Special Dividend.
IDS has set the record date as March 17, 2006, ST. PATRICK'S DAY. All
common stockholders who own IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD) by this record date
(allowing for 3 day settlement period) will qualify for the Special
Dividend. IDS has determined the final valuation of the Special Dividend,
related to the sale of a minority interest in IDS Homeland Security
Division (HLS), has been increased to a value of $1.10 per common share of
IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD).


The exponential growth of the HLS Division and new technology being
released this quarter for HLS Biometric Encryption technology, has led to
this increased valuation. IDS HLS Division orders to Tyco Division DSC
yesterday exceeded company records by over 400% as the HLS Division
continues to experience triple digit growth. HLS Division also signed an
additional Nationwide Retail Chain, Raja Sahab, with locations in 4 major
cities in Pakistan for Fire and Security Protection Services.


IDS HLS Division expects the patent filing for this technology to be
effective this week. This technology will give IDS HLS Division the highest
IT Security Product available in the world combining Biometric Technology
and IDS HLS Division proprietary 384 Bit Encryption Algorithm. Identity
Theft and IT Security breaches have become rampant in the United States,
estimated currently at an $11 Billion market and experiencing double-digit
growth each of the last three years. IDS HLS Division Biometric USB Flash
Drive with 384 Bit Encryption will provide the world's first plug-and-play
solution that makes both hardware and Internet backbone data transmission
virtually hack proof. Even if a customer's laptop is stolen, the operating
system could not be accessed without the authorized user's "live beating

biometric USB flash drive. This new technology will allow banks and
brokerage houses to offer the most advanced IT Security available for their
online banking customers. IDS HLS Division will begin shipping these units
in the current quarter.


Shareholders must own the stock BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which will be
set by the NASD. The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR
TO THE RECORD DATE.

Makes sense that the stock quickly spikes up 10% after that exciting news...

Posted by seanwill on :
 
Hmm, there it is, but still no word of cash, shares, etc.?

I'll watch this from the sidelines now.

Posted by PCola77 on :
 
By the way, I did a Google search for "Raja Sahab" and the only mention I found of a retail chain is http://www.easy2source.com/supplier/104/51622/

anyone else find any contact info for that company to see if we can confirm their order?
 

---

Posted by Dudanation on :
 
Yup. And now after it's going to be a month before the ex-divy date, the price will start to fall back down. Then when the date gets close people'll buy into it again and the suckers that buy in will find out they aren't getting any divy at all or they'll find out "Oh by the way, this is 100% stock which COULD be valued at this much if we WERE this price) or something gay like that.

I still don't trust them. And I agree 100% on not going just by PR's here.

Anyone here know how to look them up in the SEC filings? I can't find crap for IDS worldwide.
 

---

Posted by Dudanation on :
 
Well here's the beginning of the fall of the share price now that people think the divy doesn't go out for another month. I say "think" because this could easily still be a lie and there probably is no real divy going out. At the most I expect to just see a ton of shares awarded with how vague they are with this.

The way I see it, the only money you can make on this now is catching a dip on this next 2 week trend then buying in and selling as soon as we get a sharp increase from a PR. Don't expect to it ever go much more above 50 cents. It never did before and the more they dillute this thing, the less it'll climb.

people are skeptical about buying it for a reason.

I saw an email on IHUB in which Patrick Downs says they are currently in a quiet period. Don't expect to hear much from them in the near future.

I emailed Patrick and here's the response for what it is worth:

The press release is not intentionally vague. There are 4 separate dates as pertains to this Special Dividend. The record date set today. Then IDS has to wait for NASD to set the ex-dividend date. Then the declaration
date on which IDS then announces the final makeup of the dividend date and finally the payment date. IDS is currently in a quiet period regarding this transaction with the HLS Division. IDS is extremely confident when the dividend is paid investors will be overwhelminly supportive and understanding of how IDS has handled this transaction to reatly
increase long term shareholder value.

somebody needs to e-mail 'em and inquire about this "quiet period": it's not necessary for a divvy . . .

As I posted earlier, I didn't like the feel of this morning's events and got all out. . . but still, I don't understand the level bashing that's going on here?

I don't spend that much time on this board, so maybe this is the norm, but there's a bunch of people with no positions in this company just mocking the hell out of it and predicting the demise of the PPS and claiming it's a fake dividend. Somebody's got to have other motives, or maybe it's just a fun pastime ;D

It's funny how so many want to slam this stock. I dumped gzfx a while back. Bought BKMP and got the divy and then bought back into IDWD at .18. All this is what I told you all I was going to do. Way back when I was in GZFX. Sold IDWD at .45 and made a nice profit. Now I will wait till it drops back and buy it back again around the 6th or 7th of March and catch that run up and get the divy and sell again at a nice profit. If the divy does not go right. I will still make a nice profit off the run up.

And indeed you did exactly what you said you would. Buy in and play off the rise from the false PR's. I congratulate you my friend. I would have done it myself but I was too busy with GZFX. We may get one more run out of this thing when it bottoms out but I still hear bells of risk bouncing around in my head. Maybe, we'll see.

Funny how you can make solid money out of a company that you know is scamming people easier than a company trying to succeed lol

I'm new at this been play the pennies about a month and this is the one thing that I couldn't understand. I have found good companies with real products and positive PR's and the stock goes down. I'm not knocking anyone but it is ironic that many of the stocks that have dramatic rises have the least credibility. I believe risk, investing your money in a real company whose product doesn't pan out is one thing. It is quite another to believe the company only to find out it was a con.

I keep comming across the term "BASHERS" and in most cases it doesn't apply. I would think "BASHING" would mean spreading unfounded accusations about a stock in order to drive the price down. It is quite another thing to express one's doubts about the legitmacy of a company with research to back it up. It is buyer beware and if others wish to share what they have unearthed to balance the picture being drawn about a stock, why should it be a problem?

In answer to the question of NASD and public filing. According to my research once a company establishes a record date for a dividend they report it to NASD who then makes public the filing and establishes the Ex-Div date. I have yet to find any information on IDWD concerning this. If I'm wrong please let me know.

you're right--except for very rare cases. Ocassionally, NASD gets info too late to establish an ex-date; as I recall, the record date "becomes" the ex-date in those cases.

Having said that, cash dividends and restricted stock are treated differently than common stock divvies...in the former you have a "T+3" time lag, in the latter the ex-date is all that matters...

re bashers: you're thinking right about that, too...

I say "think" because this could easily still be a lie and there probably is no real divy going out. At the most I expect to just see a ton of shares awarded with how vague they are with this.

The way I see it, the only money you can make on this now is catching a dip on this next 2 week trend then buying in and selling as soon as we get a sharp increase from a PR. Don't expect to it ever go much more above 50 cents. It never did before and the more they dillute this thing, the less it'll climb.

people are skeptical about buying it for a reason.
