My experience has been similar to others who have posted about Cambridge Who's Who. They start by sending an unassuming card, saying they would like to include you in their publication for free. They used the Who's Who to seem familiar and legitimate but it's the Cambridge part that should have made me more leary. Then a nice woman called me and convinced me that this would really be a great move for my career and I could be a lifetime member for 900 dollars—supposedly a one-time fee and in exchange I would receive a profile on the website, listing in the "book" and 2 tickets to anywhere... That's another story—yeah, you get 2 plane tickets but you have to book a vacation at a resort that's affiliated with the tickets. Then, I've been called several more times by people trying to make sure they have the proper "updates" on my file. After they checked the info they have always had for me, they try to get me to spend another 800 bucks for "press releases" on the web and copies of the "book", etc. And they say it like "seven, ninety-five" so at first you think it's only 7.95. Then when I told them absolutely not, do not charge my credit card that's "on file", they get in my face and very hostile to the point I have to yell at them to get them off the phone. I'm so grateful for the info others have put on this site, because I'm going after them to get my money back and to get them to never call me and hopefully no one else again.
