The scam started in 2008. Please do not comment on my naivety, gulibility and... Stupidity. I joined the life membership, committing to $1,300 life membership. No other costs down the track were mentioned. Then it all started. Next year, in I was called by a professionally sounding voice and asked to pay $500 to be included in the annual book. I said that I had been told there nothing else to pay, as that was life membership all about. They started to get quite aggressive, and said you would have to pay. I did. The year after, they send me another plaque which I had not ordered.in 2011 they called and said I would have to pay for the plaque. I replied that I never ordered They said "since you did not return it, it is yours and you have to pay for it". I paid, thinking they could force me. Then, 2 weeks later I received another plaque. Finally I realised the full scam. Late, I know. I received another call shortly thereafter and I told them I am cancelling my membership. They started to get threatening on the phone. Not long after, this week I received another call mantiioning that my cancellation of membersjip has been approved and I would have to pay $900. I said I wouldnot pay anything, and got then threatened that because I am not cooperative, I would have to pay the full cancellation fee of $5,000! I also mentioned that my CC has changed, and the guy, one Mark, said that they do not care about that, as they have other ways. I hang up. Be very careful with these scam, they prey on people's vanity and ego... Prime example here. Do not sign for any documents from them, and change your CC if they already have your details.
