I just received a call from Cambridge Who's Who today. All I have to say is....SCAM. The first thing they do is ask you a few questions about yourself. After answering all of the questions, they make you feel like you have what it takes to be in their listings. For example, I was told "Something tells me that your going to be very successful", and they make everything sound like peaches and cream. After all of that was said and done, I was asked for my credit card number.
Nice try. but I wasn't fooled at all. Be careful everyone. They are very slick. After ending the call, I came across this website, and thank God I found out what was going on.[ See Responses ]

I hate to admit it, but I was suckered into the Cambridge Who's Who. I knew I was being suckered, but went along because I had just graduated with my MBA and thought it could be useful. Not only that, but they offered 2 round free airline tickets, of course they never mentioned you must stay in certain cities, at certain hotels for like 14 days for like $250 per night for the free tickets. Well the networking contacts were not worth it and even worse they continued to call you to sell more junk until I told them to take my name off of their call list. If I can help others from avoiding the same mistake then my mistake was worth it, sacrifices need to be made.
