One of the clear signs that various Who\u2019s Who organizations that I\u2019ve mentioned before on this blog are scams is the fact that every day\u00a0<\/i>my spam filter usually contains at least one \u201cfinal notice\u201d from them about my \u201copportunity\u201d to be included in their Who\u2019s Who directory.<\/p>\n

All the ones I\u2019ve come across thus far simply take money from anyone willing to give it to them and in exchange include that person in their directory.<\/p>\n

Is \u201cStrathmore\u2019s Who\u2019s Who\u201d the same sort of scam? I don\u2019t know, and hope not to find out, but today I received the first \u201cfinal notice\u201d e-mail I\u2019ve noticed from them in my spam filter. I wonder how many more there will be.<\/p>\n

My advice to anyone interested is to steer clear of any organization that offers to include you in a \u201cWho\u2019s Who\u201d and whose web site is simply a place for you to enter your personal information. But definitely steer clear of any that use the word \u201cfinal\u201d in their e-mails but clearly don\u2019t really mean it.<\/p>\n
