To top it off, a recent phone call from Who's Who ended when the flustered operator hung up on me because I asked too many questions. Question like, where did you get my information? and How to do I qualify for this?
Here's the latest letter I received.

Not a scam perse as they are not trying to empty your bank account or give you a virus, but do you really want to pay for this directory with a bunch of people who's names where purchased from God knows where?
By the way, check out the price of the directory (above).

This morning I received no less than 15 emails from 'Who's Who" and "James Parker" with titles like "You've Been Selected", "Your Invitation", and "This is the Final Notice of Your Invitation". When I googled it to see if it was safe to open your page came up. I've never heard of Who's Who before, and I am definitely not someone that would be included in it. I am not a professional in any way and I don't have any kind of blog. Needless to say, they will be deleted without being opened.
I too have been inundated with email requests to include my biographical information. When looking further at the address of which this is sent, all show as Who’s Who or James Parker but when you roll over it and show the full email address each is a different address
titusdouglas@yoursuperimage.info
damiensager@appereancerepair.com
to name just two of the dozen that came in this morning. Blocking the address, too many to list, will not stop these attacks.
They're now hosting it on protecturlife.net. The main site shows Lorem Ipsum, and known test phrase. If they're pretending to be professional, they could at least get a homepage up first.
