While on Facebook I saw an ad that appeared and said "Apply to be considered to be recognized in our 2010 Who's Who of Women in Business".
I thought, great! I've worked hard to get where I am in business and will give it a shot.
A woman called me and requested an interview to be selected for the publishing. She proceeded to ask me in-depth questions like "what is your background in this field", "your education", "how did you get to where you are", "what are your goals", "how do you generate business", I mean IN DEPTH. Every answer I gave she would compliment me and tell me how accomplished I was and fluff my ego.
She then says she's heard enough and I am a perfect candiate and she wants to do a press-release and I need to send a picture of myself and professional writers are going to do a full spread on me, the whole nine!
But first, she says, I need a credit card payment of $800!! I of course said that's not in my budget but thank you for the opportunity. She proceeds to drop the price every time I say no until it reaches $99.
I'm then annoyed that she made me feel this way and there is no way I'm going through with the company anyway so I say no again.
She then makes me feel bad for signing up. She says "Well didn't you sign up for this? Isn't this what you want? Why would you sign up if you don't want it?" and "I don't know how much you charge for your services but we can't work for free".
Can you believe her?!
No one said you had to work for free! I'm just trying to get off the phone, when I say no let me go, don't try and make me feel bad!
Now go dupe someone else into your "elite" "who's who" group that ANYBODY can get into.
Big scam people. Beware
