I haven't heard of that particular one, but I do know if they are the same company that does the Who's who in american high schools, and who's who in american colleges, they are legit. I'm in both of the ones I mentioned, numerous times, and I have copies of each somewhere.... see if you can find a web site on them... maybe do a google search???

I got one, too, and immediately threw it in the trash. While I realize I'm fascinating, and have actually written two Dummies books, I'm also fairly sure this is a money making thing. Since it wouldn't be making ME any money, I tossed it.

Lol. Do you know how they got your name? I'm thinking because I'm an SNA delegate. Or maybe a professor gave them my name - I'm our class facilitator. I don't know...

No idea, but I do remember getting stuff like this in the past, even before I was famous (I wish!) for writing a few books and being fairly well known on certain infertility chat boards.

If I were you, I'd send my info in, so that I could include that in resume's that I was included, but not purchase anything..... This sort of thing looks good to employers for some reason
