Global Impact Factor (www.globalimpactfactor.com) : Fake Impact factor calculation

Global Impact Factor (www.globalimpactfactor.com) is a website which calculate Impact factor of Journal. Many Journals are showing impact factor calculated by this agency. This agency can give any Journal as much impact factor as they want. It takes fees for making Impact factor.
Anybody can check it through following link:

For getting Impact factor, Journal has to pay fees and this website will give them good impact factor. This is only for making fool to young researchers.

I asked to 24 different university's  professor. All of them told me that their university does not allow this fake agency for calculating impact factor.

Global Impact Factor (www.globalimpactfactor.com) is also not listing the name of peoples who reviews the Journals. This proves that it is fake.

It is also not showing physical address of this agency.

Global Impact Factor (www.globalimpactfactor.com)  is not approved by any government/ University/ College/ Group of scientist. It is completely fake.

This website says that if any Journal has only one issue, they can provide Impact factor. So now you can imagine yourself how much is it fake?
