Cambridge Who's Who
High Pressure Sales after Saying It Was Free Ripoff

Miscellaneous

I received the mail-in card asking me to apply for inclusion in their Who's Who directory for free. Because it said "Cambridge" I thought it might be legitimate, so I sent in the card. Today they called me at work, a young woman named Michelle Bond. She went through an "interview" to "determine whether or not you qualify..." I answered all her questions, and then she said "Congratulations." After that, she began talking about different "packages." First she tried to talk me into "Platinum Membership" for a cots of $789 and an additional $199 for the "CD Directory, " with "two free airline tickets." I declined. Then she offered me "Gold Membership" for 5 years for a fee of $589 and $199 for the CD, and said she would throw in the airline tickets as well. I told her that I could not do that. Then she asked me if I knew who they were. I said not really, and she proceeded to tell me that the only people who get in are the really important people with a high caliber of achievement. She then offered me an "Associate's Membership" for 3 years, at a cost of $349 and $199 for the CD. I told her "I work for a public entity and I simply do not have that kind of money." Each time she kept trying to get my credit card number. Finally she offered me "the Executive Program" for 2 years, upgradeable, for $189. I told her "I never give my credit card out over the phone unless I am the caller - it's nothing against you, it is just my policy." She was disappointed and asked me to make an appointment to call her back, so we set an appointment. Then I got on the Internet and found you. I did NOT give her my credit card number, but I am still worried - - - because one of the other reports here said that they charged the credit card even though the number was not given out. Thank you for the information. I am going to call my bank and tell them not to release any money to these people. I feel stupid for even answering her questions about my work or letting her go on talking after the first time she asked me for my credit card number. Their "script" is more persuasive than one would think. We need to do more than just close them down, as they will come back under a different name. We need to put the owners of this company in prison for fraud. Thank you.
