Beware Who's Who
Jason Franklin at 888 767 7548 ext 113 representing Who's Who as an Account Director for The Princeton Global Networks attempted to get me to purchase a vanity or networking entry for at 1st $849, then $649, then $149 and lastly $99 before he revoked my acceptance into their Who's Who offering.
His telephone offer conflicted with the site's money back period.
He told me that I could get my money back in 30 days, then 60 days but as the Terms and Conditions below states the period is merely 48 hours.

Who's Who scam
A Who's Who scam is a fraudulent Who's Who biographical directory. While there are many legitimate Who's Who directories, Who's Who scams involve the selling of "memberships" in fraudulent directories that are created online or through instant publishing services. These fraudulent directories represent thinly veiled moneymakingscams.
A scam may begin with a telephone interview or online questionnaire to validate a potential target's personal information. This information can be included in the fraudulent directory, sold to other marketing firms, or used in future attacks such as phishing emails. Once the personal information has been gathered, the target is congratulated as having passed the interview and is asked to provide a credit card number to finalize the process. Upon further inquiry, the target may be told that a credit card payment is required to receive a certificate and copy of the directory. If the cost is disputed by the target, the price may repeatedly drop in order to ensure that a credit card number is obtained.
Recently incorporated companies are often behind these scams. The few individuals listed in such directories often have themselves included as a marketing tactic. The result is that these directories become a simple form of vanity publishing. One known problem is that people's credentials sometimes list their online directory memberships long after such fraudulent directories disappear from the web.
There are numerous international variations of these practices. In former European monarchies, publishers compile volumes listing "noblemen" (such as dukes, counts and barons) who are often little more than fantasists who paid large sums to be included.

Jason Franklin at 888 767 7548 ext 113 representing Who's Who as an Account Director for The Princeton Global Networks attempted to get me to purchase a vanity or networking entry for at 1st $849, then $649, then $149 and lastly $99 before he revoked my acceptance into their Who's Who offering.
His telephone offer conflicted with the site's money back period.
He told me that I could get my money back in 30 days, then 60 days but as the Terms and Conditions below states the period is merely 48 hours.

Who's Who scam
A Who's Who scam is a fraudulent Who's Who biographical directory. While there are many legitimate Who's Who directories, Who's Who scams involve the selling of "memberships" in fraudulent directories that are created online or through instant publishing services. These fraudulent directories represent thinly veiled moneymakingscams.
A scam may begin with a telephone interview or online questionnaire to validate a potential target's personal information. This information can be included in the fraudulent directory, sold to other marketing firms, or used in future attacks such as phishing emails. Once the personal information has been gathered, the target is congratulated as having passed the interview and is asked to provide a credit card number to finalize the process. Upon further inquiry, the target may be told that a credit card payment is required to receive a certificate and copy of the directory. If the cost is disputed by the target, the price may repeatedly drop in order to ensure that a credit card number is obtained.
Recently incorporated companies are often behind these scams. The few individuals listed in such directories often have themselves included as a marketing tactic. The result is that these directories become a simple form of vanity publishing. One known problem is that people's credentials sometimes list their online directory memberships long after such fraudulent directories disappear from the web.
There are numerous international variations of these practices. In former European monarchies, publishers compile volumes listing "noblemen" (such as dukes, counts and barons) who are often little more than fantasists who paid large sums to be included.
