National Association Of Professional Women - NNational Association Of Professional Women - NAPW High Pressure Bait and Switch Scam Perpetrated Against Women NEW YORK New York
The NAPW is nothing more than a classic bait and switch scam. LADIES BEWARE! This exclusive organization will flatter you and boost your ego to the point you forget the letter received regarding this organization stated it was FREE for 1 FULL YEAR. So why do they ask for $689 for an Elite Membership or $489 for the Preferred. The prices do go down from there but you are made to feel cheap and studip if you only opt for the Complimentary Membership which was originally offered to you by mail - which is why you filled out the post card to begin with.
I heard several times during this obviously scripted pitch that membership had "NO OTHER DUES OR FEES" Then how do you explain the $99 for every year after the initial signup date. They don't tell you about that fee until you have already signed up for membership and you receive your welcome letter. The sales reps will specifically tell you repeatedly that "this is a one time enrollment fee, with no other dues or fees". What a flat out lie.
The partnerships that they offer are web based - but they don't tell you that. I was under the misconception that if I went to Cosco or Target I could receive discounts with my membership ID card. Not so. Discounts are web based which I guess is fine if I did all my shopping on line, but I don't so the discounts do absolutely nothing for me. Once again misled based on my conversation.
I finally decided I should have looked up the National Association of Professional Women prior to signing on - It seems that they have several complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau - The owner, Matt Proman also has on interesting history as he was found to have paid someone to take a series 7 test for him. His fine, according to what I read was $50,000 - LOSER
