First, I am a vulnerable adult by definition under ********* law and protected from financial exploitation by the ********* vulnerable adults act. This company financially exploited me.Second, this was promised as a lifetime membership hence my complaint now despite this occurring several years ago.This company originally called me and said my achievements warranted inclusion in whos who. They pretended not to be a vanity publication and said I was chosen for my achievements. They promised many additional services but rendered none. They asked if I had any recommendations for others to be included and I gave several names, one individual was unemployed but similarly solicited. All of us paid almost $1000 dollars. They used hard sell tactics and also misrepresented themselves as the famous whos who and claimed few are accepted. This is a lie. I was disabled and receiving social security benefits at the time if this event. They also called over snd over again offering first a very high price then a special deal for me using relentless hard-sell tactics. They said they had been around forever and were respected across the globe and my inclusion would be very influential in the eyes of others as inclusion is rare.
