Bristol Who's Who Fraud Internet

I was directed to the Bristol Who's Who website saying I could "apply" for membership as a Distinguished Alumni of The University of Notre Dame. 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 of Distinguished Alumni of the University of Notre Dame. 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 $1,000 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.

 Well that was back in early February and just a couple of dsys ago I got another call from one of their representatives telling me they were getting my "Press Release" completed and that it would go out to all the major websites like Google, Yahoo, etc. HERE COMES THE SHOCKER- THEY INFORM ME THAT THIS WILL COST AN ADDITIONAL $795 ODOLLARS FOR THE PRESS RELEASE. I told them I couldn't afford that amountbof money and that I was never told that I would have to pay an additional penny on top of the $985 charge they hit me with for the 5-Year membership package.

 HERE COMES ANOTHER SHOCKER - WHEN I SAID THAT $795 WAS TOO MUCH AND I COULDN'T AFFORD IT, THEY IMMEDIATELY SAID THAT WELL, FOR TODAY I CAN KNOCK $350 OFF OF THE PRICE AND CHARGE ME ONLY  $350. I SAID NO AND THEN I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THIS COMPANY AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS NOTHING BUT A "SCAM". THERE ARE ARTICLES ABOUT THIS COMPANY'S SCAM OPERATION ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND I AM OUT CLOSE TO $1000.

 I E-MAILED THEM TODAY AND TOLD THEM I WANT AN IMMEDIATE REFUND OF EVERY PENNY THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD AND I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM EVER AGAIN.

THEY HAVE YET TO RESPOND. I CALLED THEIR HEADQUARTERS TODAY (SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015) AND GOT AN ANSWERING SERVICE 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 AND I AM NOT HOLDING MY BREATH WAITING. SOMEONE HAS TO SHUT THIS FRAUDULENT SCAM OPERATION DOWN.
