Yep Justice33 - aka company shill.
Can't believe these Who's Who organizations are STILL around. Vanity publishing at it's best. Better value out of LinkedIn although I am disspointed that LinkedIn lets them advertise on their site.
Note to anyone who was taken for over $500. If you don't SIGN anything they can't enforce it Under NY law - which is where they reside - they must have a signed contract to enforce payment of fees for their membership. Use this knowledge to your advantage. Better yet avoid these guys all together.

I am more than pleased with the assistance I received after purchasing a membership with Cambridge Who's Who Publishing in Uniondale, NY.
In fact, I have been a member for 3 years now and besides my membership (which included a long, professional listing of both myself and my business) my business has increased. I use this profile link and send it to my new clients and it does work. I also use their on line member linked in to talk to other professional in my industry, nationally.
In addition, I have paid for and been listed in their new magazine and they have built me a website as well. This is my way of advertising-cheaply! Where can I advertise nationally? Yellow pages stopped working for me years ago.
I read a lot of the remarks here and it is false. I believe that some of these derogatory remarks are from unprofessional business people, not wanting to pay for what they are getting.
I hope this helps this company as I see this is an injustice...because I really got my money's worth!

October 14th, 2011: As of this writing, Cambridge phoned me and said that they decided to refund all of the money that they charged me for their "additional marketing package" and they will no longer have telemarketers contact me about other products. In addition, the person who contacted me made reference to the original article that I posted here and asked that I remove the names of a person I mentioned. Unfortunately that is not possible on Ripoff Report. I wonder if they would have offered a refund if I hadn't posted or if they knew that it isn't possible to edit the first posting?
I guess we'll never know the answer to that question. They refunded my credit card- case closed.
