I just received a call from a woman at Stanford Who's Who. Like everyone else here, I was walked through a flattering interview process and then asked if I wished to pay $800 for a platinum membership.
I spent the next 15 minutes declining all of the offers presented. Since I was not rude and did not simply hang up the woman reached the point of offering me the listing for free, which I also declined.
I told her I was turned off by their approach and did not want anything to do with the company. I also verified that they had no credit card information on file.
I was lucky compared to the other folks in here and I highly recommend avoiding this company. It is also important to decline several times as you never know how they can take recorded conversations out of context.in the days of Linked In and Facebook, I don't understand how these companies can get away with this.
