Don’t under any circumstance give this organisation your visa card number. They offered me membership at $199 nearly 2 years ago, with a wood plaque and a leather bound book and 2 complimentary airline tickets to anywhere in America. Since then they have put nearly $4,000 on my card. I’ve cancelled my card twice and still amounts go on… $500, $700, $800 in any one hit. I have no idea how or where they are getting my new card numbers. It’s a nightmare.

****** WARNING *******

** DO NOT GIVE THIS ORGANISATION ANY DETAILS**

I posted 12 weeks ago that I had allowed myself to be duped and signed up with Sanford WhosWho for a $199 memebership. Good news, just got reimbursed from them! Made a complaint through the Better Business Bureau in New York and they responded with refunding me …hmmm

They do see your faxed response because ‘Jason’ asked to speak to my alter ego Neville Shrimpton-Smith ( as per my silly faxed application) . He pronounced it Nev-ill and obviously thought he had a real rube in tow. The funniest part is that when you give absurd answers to his stock qualification questions, he doesn’t hesitate or question them, such is his determination to get to the credit card details stage. If scum like him call you, string them along for as long as you can before letting them down. Its good fun, a bit costly for them, and most importantly, it infuriates them.

Just received “Australian Register of Who’s Who” from Office of Public Affairs – Lisa Smith. Faxed them, asking for $1000 as a search fee for my details before I could release them. Don’t like my chances!!!

Just got duped for $199 for Canadian Who’s Who – is actually Stanford Who’s Who from New York City :)
My own fault as I fell for the “ego stroking” high pressure sales – called back 10 minutes later to find out they have a “no cancellation policy” that I was not told about and is not listed anywhere on their site.
Shameful…
Lesson learned!

This scam is still going ~ this time they didn’t even bother with a fake name! Just says, “Sincerely, Corporate Office, Publishing Dept.” No other numbers, just a fax number.
Gee, that just gives me the warm fuzzies!

Recieved the same today, however it was also addressed to “The Director/Manager” and from the “Office of Public Affairs” contact person Lisa Smith.
