It all started when I completed an online request to fill in my details so that I will be listed for FREE in their registrar thinking no harm doing that. Today, I received an international phone call (I am currently working in Beijing) from Richard Wellington (calling from the States) to congratulate me that I have been shortlisted! He spent at least 20 minutes on the phone interviewing me and allowed me to gloat… The last 5 minutes he spent telling me that all I need to do is to pay USD 600++ to upgrade to gold or platinum. Then to USD 200++ until he gave up and ended the call, albeit abruptly.
What a scam!

I got sucked into this and now I want to stop getting billed for it. I went to their website but there is no email contact address and only a form that I duly completed but I am not sure if they will reply. I am from Australia and wondered how I might have this automatic billing stopped?

Any assistance appreciated.

I just received a fax from them today but knew right away that it was a scam; into the “circular file” it went!

Oh yeah. This one and the International Honors Society and Who’s Who of whatever. Don’t these people have anything else to do with their time?

Thank you for this great blog and the big tip off. In this day and age of scammers and spammers, I am grateful to folks who take the time to warn the public. I can’t help but suspect the owners of this alleged prestigious organization who sells you canned air and fake business prominence, are nothing more than some Nigerian scammers who work out of those dumpy internet cafes. These guys have a great racket in sucking in lonely people on internet dating sites. Once sucked in, your bank account is sucked dry. Some of their other scams include a variety of great business opportunities that await you for a mere minimal investment. In return you are to reap millions of dollars, but in the end again you reap canned air. Buy a can of baked beans instead!

I received an email from Mr Thomas and my suspisions were immediately aroused by the fact that he had a gmail email address. So I too “googled” the organisation and came to this blog. My reason for making this contribution is to say that one has to be alert to all sorts of scams. I was subject to another attempted scam that involved internet domain names. I am associated with a domain name “nogalesinternationalwastewater”, and I recently received an email from a domain name control company in China informing me that a certain gentleman in Hong Kong wanted to register a domain name “nogalesinternationalwastewater” with a .hk suffix. I was informed that if I thought this would harm my business I could protect the name. My first thought was why on earth should somebody in Hong Kong want to use such a domain name. Anyway, I smelt a rat so to speak and I asked if protecting the domain name would cost me a fee. Of course it was going to so I didnt progress it any further thinking good luck to the man in HK!

I got this in my email today and figured it a scam, but thought I would investigate. I wasn’t even into being in Who’s Who in high school and more than twenty years later I doubt my vanity has gone up much in that area (however, I do spend far more on beauty products). I do feel sorry for those who fall for scams online. Particularly in these tough economic times where people may be more desperate for some quick fix to financial woes. Thank you for posting this blog. Shame on the louse who starts these scams.
