I received a call about becoming a part of this group and I was told at the end of a long conversation and a lot of personal questions that I would have to pay over $500 to be a part of this group once I said I’d have to think about it if they could email me the information they quickly hung up on me but was brave enough to send an email the next day asking for a lesser amount of money but still wanting my money. Please be careful and do not believe this company as they are a scam company. The scary thing is is that I saw the ad for this company while I was on LinkedIn which made me believe it was a legit business

Experience the same as the other post and glad I googled them. They called asking for money for a membership $500 and I had to give my credit card over the phone. Total scam. Becareful

I received the call congratulating me...During the call, I asked about the membership fee,199.00 life time, and 99.00 for 5 years... This is cheaper than the quotes from most of you. However, I told Savanna that I needed to read more about them before providing credit card info. She was polite, however, the info about the society of internal professional women was vague.After the call, I goggled them, and saw the post from all of you.If they call, the answer is NOTHANK YOU. 😊

I listened to the pitch about SEO advertising and the pitch quickly fell apart. I am disgusted to see that this is a scam operation, but fortunately googled as I spoke so I was able to disengage. How can they be in business? Please note: the star should be a thumbs down,

Greetings. My experience with The Worldwide Association of Female Professionals has been receiving aggressing calling, that now turned into texts. Does anyone know if this company is a scam? Lets research!

Scam all the wayI did talked for a long time, no written information, nothing ☹️

Oh Lord, I wish I read this reviews before signing up. If I could give a zero star I would. I heard about them from sponsored ads on Google. Since I am a brand new entrepreneur I was eager to network and grow my brand. I could not successfully log on to their website. Each time I did, it took me to different sites. I made a down payment which I was told told was good for one year. I guess I have to reach out to my credit card company to dispute the charge. Thanks everyone.

Someone by the name of Eric called, as the other reviews stated....I was interviewed and accepted. Then I was made aware of the payment options of $589 unlimited. I then mentioned that I had no money to pay and asked that they call me back.Due to my past security experience, I usually do my research to see if these companies are scams or fraudsters! Eric became very arrogant when I mentioned that he would have to call me back. He asked why he had to call back (RED FLAG #1), I explained him that I was not certain if they were fraudsters and that caused him to become even more upset. His tone (RED FLAG #2) changed even more, as he explained that they never had problems before and started defending the Worldwide Association of Fraudsters Professionals...(ahem, I mean Female).When he realized that he wasnt getting my credit card number so easily, he quickly ended out conversation by stating that someone else would call me back in 1 month. His attitude is what further prompted me to do my research online, only to find other persons complaining. Just a few minutes ago when I was typing, I got another call from someone else (RED FLAG #3), congratulating me once again for being considered. When I mentioned, that I already was called he was quick to ask if I was successful to which I mentioned that I was presently typing up a bad review about their fraud service.Sorry Worldwide Association of Fraudsters Professional, this is one prey you will not catch!

HUGE SCAM!!!!! I applied a few days ago and got a call from a women who I am sure was a man at 8am. I was getting ready for work but he/she insisted they had too many applicants and could not call me back. After asking about my professional background he/she allowed me to join and congratulated me and offered me a package deal for over $500.00 dollars. and when I said I wanted to read over his material he said, well it is too hard to call him back and he call me back because of the number of applicants so I need to do this now. Or I could do the 5 year membership for $400 or the 1 year for 290 but I had to do it NOW. And Im like no I am sorry I do not make such payments over the phone without reading information on it first, and he say okay goodbye and hung up on me. SCAM SCAM SCAMMMMMM

They were asking a lot of questions and then when they mentioned fee, and I said that is too high they just hang up the phone, without saying good buy or anything like that. Definitely scam!

Thank you so much all women here I hit same call & lot of appreciation of my work for women safety in India through Pink Belt Mission & king interview with all info and praise at same time & was told Aparna whole world should know your devotion for incredible work for women but then $589 demand, I said I don’t know it’s payable and that female got so rude why did not I do whole research about them then she offered for 4 years and at the end one year. I asked give me more info so I can check on you but she was not having any link for me to even check - complete fraud “don’t come in trap”

Spoken to a nice guy who approved my membership and told me that they refuse thousands of memberships a day. But then... was asked to pay over the phone a $200 membership for 1 year or $500 membership for life. I asked to send me the information but was told that they cant send the information first without payment. How strange. I told him Id get back to him. He gave me his name and number. All your reviews have helped me to decide and have saved me from loosing my hard earned money. By the way, check the website carefully and see if its worth your money, if you choose to go ahead.

Was trying to find an organization of women to join and stumbled upon this one. I looked over the website, saw no mention of a cost (if fact it said no cost to apply or join). On the apply screen (since it said no cost to join which is BS as you’ll read below), there was a short form to put my contact information and an open-ended question. I paused on the application and wanted to come back to it after a little more research. I never submitted the application nor submitted my contact information. Two days later, some lady calls me saying she needs more information about my application. I never submitted it? She tells me it’s must’ve accidentally been submitted, which makes zero sense. She then asks me questions so she can fill out the application over the phone: schooling, experience, etc. Her responses were all very scripted. And magically at the end of the call says “it seems you’re really accomplished so I’m happy to say you’ve been accepted!” All very strange and shifty for a professional organization. Made it seem very desperate for membership, a very red flag. She proceeded to be extremely pushy with her pitch and have zero self awareness. She wanted me to process my payment card for membership fees over the phone, which I of course declined. She then said she would give a portion of the benefits to me for $189 and subsequently asked if the card was Visa or MasterCard. I told her I needed more time to think about it and she said “Well, there isn’t any time. We have thousands of applications and a newsletter to publish. If we waited on everyone, our newsletter would be delayed.” I’m sorry, what? I politely declined her offer and told her she was being extremely pushy. I hadn’t submitted my application so why was I being forced to pay over the phone to this organization? Moral of the story: do your research and don’t feel pressured. Seems like this company is a scam and preys on women looking for professional networks.

I was called, interviewed and then told I was accepted into the organization. She mentioned membership was optional but if I took one it would provide great deal of benefits. Stupidly, I began reading my credit card number to her and also typed in organizations name to Google. pages of bad reviews came up accusing them of being a scam. I told the woman that I dont want the membership and to not charge my card. This happened 10 minutes ago. I called VISA to notify them but there was no charge implemented. Hopefully, this woman will not charge my card. Advice to anyone reading this, do NOT fall for the Worldwide Association of Female Professionals. I have tried to provide a ZERO star rating to this post but Google wont allow so I have entered 1 star. It should be ZERO.

CAREFUL! THEY ARE A SCAM! THEY ALSO ACT UNDER THE NAME OF INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF FEMALE PROFESSIONAL.I applied a few days ago to join their society. I got a call after that from a lady but as I was driving under the snow, she agreed to call later that day. It was a man on the phone who called me back: he was very professional and asked me a lot of questions until in the end he asked me to join and pay a fairly large amount of money. And I told him that I needed time to think about it. He became rather insistant and he was clearly unhappy with the fact that I wasnt complying to paying right away. Though he agreed to call me back the following day so I would have had time to check their website because we had spoken a lot about me but I knew very little about their organization. The following day he called me back and I hadnt had time to check your website yet. Which I told him: he made a very disagreeable grunt and hung up on me while I was looking at my calendar to reschedule a call with him. His behavior was very insulting and unprofessional. And it shows that profit is at the core of their action. A real scam.

Its a total fraud! They just want your money. Through a 20 minutes interview (just ask for the CV!) they decide you are admitted (you could completely fake it) and flatter you then ask if you want life association or 5 years. If you change your mind afterwards they magically reduce the fee offering it for life. Do not trust them, completely empty box. Money hunting, thats all!

Unfortunately, this amazing sounding organizations is a scam. I got a call and was interviewed, was given vague stats and hit with the fee.When I asked more questions, the lady got very rude and started hurrying the call.It is sad that people like them are taking advantage of an important subject like women professionals.

Wow! Thanks to everyone who posted. I was given so many accolades over the phone and was feeling so honored- when I heard there was a cost I got a bit wary and did a quick Google Search!

They dont deserve any stars. They scammed me, took advantage of me and pushed me into giving them money when I did not even understand what I was paying for. They never followed through with sending any documentation that they promised. When I tried to contact them, they ghosted me. Please do not get sucked into their lies and scams!

Extremely bad experience. As per other women rating this association here, I had received a call from a representative who used high pressure selling methods. Since they called me, they keep calling me 2-3 times per day, each and every day. I blocked their number, but now, they call me with another number! How many numbers will I have to block to be relieved from them? Its really annoying, disrespectful and a form of harassment. Really, dont deal with them!

Very bad experience! A man called me 4 times, glorified at first my background, then asked for 500$ to proceed with my membership. When I asked to see some documentation, he started to argue, then lowered his price to 199$. I said politely that it was a lot of money. His answer: 199$ is a lot of money for you? And he hung up on me! Scandalous!

I was approved after a 20 minute conversation. At first I was eager to join, but then was asked to pay $600 for the membership that I knew very little about. When I asked for some time to do a little research, I was given a bit of attitude. I read the reviews on here and decided I would not proceed . I had already given my credit card number so I called them back , let them know I was declining , and I got hung up on. Very unprofessional for a professional association. Clearly a money grab . I hope my credit card does not get billed.

Typical scam! After I have submitted the application, someone from the organisation called me and asked various questions about my career. Then I was told that I am accepted andt I had to pay the membership. I told that I didnt know its a payed membership and the lady replied in very rude tone that I didnt do my homework!!I see there are a lot of women here trying to get into some kind of organization for professional advance, maybe we could make our own group? :)

Just dont engage with them. BIG SCAM!I requested to join WAoFA via LinkedIn, thinking it was a group. Then I got several emails asking to finish the application process. I did so online. Then I got another email asking to finish the application process. All this time I thought it was just a group on LinkedIn.I had a lovely conversation with a woman who was very NYC rushing through our discussion. Once my interview was complete she said congratulated me and said I was accepted. She said she was going to send me a bunch of stuff and a profile packet. Then hit me with the fees. Thats when the heavy high pressure sales started. I would NEVER give out my card or pay $10 USD for anything over the phone with a company I havent investigated. While she continued to pressure me, I started to Google the company and found so many postings and articles about this SCAM!!!

If I can give this organization a negative than I would. There is no association, the main offices for this place is located in the industrial area of Long Island City 33-01 Northern Boulevard. It is a two story building with a call center in it that has about 2 dozen employees working there. The quality of the workforce is subpar, the main guy in charge is Scott Minuta who runs this operation. Once they get your card details you will get calls from different names. A classic churn and burn operation. PEOPLE DO YOUR RESEARCH, NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR DETAILS OVER THE PHONE.

I am all about woman supporting women and this phone call to join was pushy and a scam. I am so happy I declined the offer and read the reviews.

SCAM! They have now changed their name to International Society of Female Professionals. Do not get duped.

I was called about applying to this organization and the woman was extremely rude, mouthy, and absolutely unprofessional. Im completely appalled. For a womens professional organization their employees are NOT professional at all. Not only do I decline to join this organization after speaking with her, but I would never promote it. Practice what you preach and what is in the name of your organization.

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!!! It is a FRAUD. I was too fool to give them mine and the organization don’t Exist. I hope you read this coment before is too late

Women beware, this organization is not what it claims to be. It is a glorified ($$$) Facebook account. Great sales with zero follow-up. It is not a reputable organization and the proof is in the fact that they cannot and do not issue professional receipts. Once youve been charged, there is no customer service or call back. Do not join. Stick to LinkedIn for professional networking.

Just got the email and message they’re trying to reach me. The website is bogus and thank you to all the reviews I’ll be trashing the approval email and voice message. Thank you ladies for standing up for what’s right by writing these reviews. That’s my main reason for writing mine, to support REAL WORLDWIDE FEMALE PROFESSIONALS! #DONTGETSCAMMED

Scam. Very pushy. If you dont answer, they start calling from numbers in several different states

Wish I read these reviews before. ... Fool enough to give them card details ..... get billed more than once.......Wake up to the scam when I was alerted to a transaction I did not authorize.

This is a scam, be ware. They keep calling me saying I signed up for their organization, which apparently I didn’t. I was intrigued and googled them to find out lots of complaints and warnings from others about their scam. Luckily I closed their call and did not have any damage. Be ware!!!

These review has helped me tremendously. As they lady was trying to real me in to signing up, I pulled up the sight and the review.

This is not a real organization for women. Beware of this Ponzi scheme.

15 calls in one day from numerous numbers throughout the US. No messages left, unprofessional time wasters

Same experience. It s a scam.

This is a scam! Dont give credit card info.

Do not have anything to do with them. When you are outside of US they send you sms to approve payment without any data protection guarantee first and in telling you that your payment, subscription will be confirmed as soon as you answer to their email. Actually they take the money right away, I have asked my bank make an opposition payment.

Extremely push. She asked for $500 and went done to $100. It seemed that she is there to grab few bucks.

Unbelievable how inconveniente these people are!!! Come on!!!

These people won’t stop calling me!

Keep on calling ... been blocked! Scam!

Scam. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Scam! Waste of time. They ask for money. Even the interviewer was so unprofessional.

Quick customer service response.

Scam!!! They are calling me every day and when I asked more questions the guy just hang off the phone. Very unprofessional!!! Numbers have to be blocked!!

Got the call during a busy work day ( not the time they said they would call) and because she was literally reading her lines, I tried to ask whats involved and cost and she completely turned into an unprofessional/ rude telemarketer.

Very misleading. At first its free, until they call you. I wish I would have googled it before submitting my application. :(

They ask for money after you submit the application. Beware!!

I worked here, completely false information

Misleading which is completely UNPROFESSIONAL

These guys are Scammers...

Oh! I get it! These are the people who sold my telephone number! And why I am getting a million random calls a day! :(

Stay away!

Scam!!!

SCAM!!!

Shady

It is a fraud !!! It seemed to me at the beginning an incredible opportunity since I have many foreign clients in Mexico, I paid my subscription for life and I have not been able to establish any contact from the supposed networking, much less from the WAOPF. CAREFUL!!!

Its a SCAM! Its a SCAM! don give you credit card !!

Is clearly a scam, please never give the financial information to strangers, be very careful

Scammers 100%
