This new 7 wonders campaign is a scam by a Swiss guy with no official backing or verification by any true world cultural organization, history society, etc..
He hopes to get people around the world hyped up about this private marketing trick of his, making lots of money from people who pay to vote and buy "official" voting certificates who are unaware that this is a private trick.
His idea is to get millions of people go on a voting frenzy to vote for their own country's "candidate" sights, eg. Indians voting for the Taj Mahal and Australians for the Sydney opera while each person paying $2 per vote.
Out of the entire world population if only 10 million people (or 0.2%) fall for his scam he'll make a quick 20 million dollars.
So wake up people, this is a big joke.
