Subject: Empire Who's Who
Hello,
Has anyone heard of Empire Who's Who or regularly used this publication? I believe it is an American publication. One of our partners has been approached to go in the directory. He has been interviewed, photographed, etc and now he has been told it cost £427 for the entry. I have now been asked to sort it out (great!) and establish whether this is legitimate, worth paying for, or a con. I have seen their website, and a google search only reveals 55 mentions; mostly press releases announcing some executive is in it. This worries me. Not mentioning the fee at the beginning of the process leads me to think it is a bit of a scam. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks, Diane
