Stanford Who's Who Stanford Media Group Lied about leads, peddling worthless networking services. Internet, Nationwide
This is the biggest rip off I've ever seen in my life. When I went on the "interview" for this "company" they told me they had qualified leads. Qualified leads are supposed to mean that people showed interest in PAYING for this "service". But the ad the click on online tells them that they're getting it for free.It's a scam. It's nothing more than selling stupid people on their own vanity. This is how their "pitch" goes...
1. you call them up and ask them for some very basic information.
2. then, you "congratulate" them as if they just received some type of "honor" into some special "club"
3. then, you try to sell them on some "premium package" which is over a thousand dollars (even though the ad said it was a free service) ((and even though anyone can start a linked in, facebook or twitter absolutely free.
4. then, when they don't go for the "premium" you try to sell them on the "gold" $800...then DROP DOWN to "silver" $600 and on and on until you have to give it away for free....The real scam here is telling them that they're being accepted into some special network meanwhile the only real qualification is having a credit card number.
Oh, and if you take a look at the book that these geniuses who get swindled into paying for this "service" looks like...at least 50 percent of the book is people who signed up for free. Congratulations, you just paid $1,000 PLUS!!!! a ten dollar fee a month to have a 1 minute generic video of yourself. And, they put no effort into making your biography different from anyone elses...everyones bio simply says that they are dedicated and driven in their field to become "leaders".
Absolute scam...this is coming from someone who thought about working there for a day or two before I realized I'd be ripping people off. Oh, oh, and i almost forgot...what kind of top notch networking site has 100,000 measly members and only 8,000 likes on facebook? Last but not least...they're so proud of their who's who it doesn't even say that on the front of the building. It just says "Standford Media Group".
They used the word Stanford to make it seem like they're connected to the University in some weird way. But at the end of the day...anyone with a credit card can join. And if you don't have a credit card you get listed for free. Real value there!
