who's who registry of academic excellence we sent them 100 dollars for a book with my sons name in it and a plaque when we called after not recieving it where given the cold shoulder dc, Washington DC

"when a child in middle school has accomplished enough to get into a book they deserve to get the book."

These Who's Who scams have been around for decades.

One need not have accomplished anything to be "chosen".As long as you're willing topay the money, you're in. Back in the '80s, my roomate and I were easily able to get our cat honored by a Who's Who(for a small fee). I can assure you that most of his accomplishments were nothing to write home about.

Their sales pitch is designed to appeal to the vanity of the target. Whenyou aretruly honored foryour accomplishments, you should not expect to have to pay for such an honor.If you're paying, it's phony.

Bottom line, if the book ever comes, it will merely be a large list of vain or gullible people. It's not something you'd want to have your child's name in.
