Re: International Who's Who of information Technology

[James_Turnbull@xxxxxxxxxx]

This is a scam.  The book doesn't exist - they call it a variety of things
depending on who they are speaking to (execs, R&D, Accountants, Lawyers -
are some of the "Who's Who" guides I've heard about) but essentially it's a
scam.

I've been contacted by a representative from the "International Who's Who
of
Information Technology" for inclusion in their 2000 directory.

It was an interesting interview, however, it ended with a relatively high
pressure pitch to sell me a copy of the book for $400....

When I asked to think it over for a day the sales pressure was increased. I
finally told them I wasn't interested.

Needless to say, I am a bit skeptical.

I'm wondering if any of you have heard anything about this
publication/organization?
