Hi,
when i was searching for some companies to put my profile on search engines like google, yahoo etc. i found one on linkedin by the name "bristol whos who".

I called them and was directed to the Bristol Who's Who website saying I could "apply" for membership There was an interview process (which is all part of the scam) to let you lnow if you qualify for inclusion in this prestigious list. They put you on hold and then eventually come back live on the phone to tell you that you have been accepted and qualify for membership in this alleged prestigious group.

They tell you about all the wonderful benefits your membership includes which involves basically getting your name "out there" on Google, Linked-In, Yahoo, and all kinds of sites where people will be able to see your inclusion in this "select " group and provide you with all kinds of opportunities to network and expand your business or professional career, etc.

Meanwhile, what They don't tell you up front is the cost. that comes after you have been "approved" as a member of this select group that will help you in many, many ways including a press release about you that goes to all the major websites like Google & Yahoo & more specifically to professional networking websites like Linkedin, etc.The cost was close to $1,200 USD and I said great and gave them my credit card number which wasi mmediately charged. This was for a 5-year membership and all of the "alleged" benefits that went along with it.

I should have researched before giving Bristol Who's Who almost $1,200 for a 5-Year Membership.

Then The fake approval process where they put you om hold after an interview to see if you are "eligible" for inclusion in their "prestigious" group. For me it was the honor of being included in the BRISTOL
WHO’S WHO OF EXECUTIVES AND PROFESSIONALS - and all of the "alleged: benefits that a 5-Year Membership would bring.

Then the other day when one of their representatives called me telling me about the exciting news of my Press Release which they were preparing for release on Google, Yahoo, and a whole host of websites that would promote me and my accomplishments and my current business that I own. THE SHOCKER WAS THEY WANTED ANOTHER $899 FOR THIS! I told the representative that I was of the understanding that the $1200 I paid covered everything and that I shouldn't have to pay another time. Quickly the representative said she could "knock off" $600 to give me a special deal.

Well I was never told I would have to pay again. My 5 year membership included all kinds of search engines including the press release.

I e-mailed them and told them i want an immediate refund of every penny they charged from my credit card and i want nothing to do with them ever again.

They have yet to respond i called their head quarters and got an answering serive and they said they would pass my message about being victimized by this scam on to a representative and i would receive a call back . well i have yet to receive a call.
kindly try to get me back my amount as i heard about your comapny from one of my friend that's y came here to lodge the complain.
