Who's Who ... and Who is NOT!!!! Empty

I am sure you have all heard of Who's Who in America and seen these huge volumes at libraries ... okay ... let's move on.


I was certainly surprised to get a letter from Who's Who Cambridge telling me that I was a candidate.

For one thing, I'd not heard of this version of Who's Who.

Second of all, I KNOW, I am NOT noteworthy enough to qualify as a Who's Who.

Okay, so I've had a handful of books published ... but they aren't bestsellers. And as far as my personal career outside of writing goes, before becoming a truck driver (THAT isn't noteworthy) I never kept a job for more than 18 months.

Soooo, this letter of candidacy to Cambridge Who's Who made me a WEE BIT suspicious.

I Googled them and found the word SCAM floating around their name.

Seems they invite you in ... at no cost ... and THEN get you!!!

And I discovered there are other Who's Who rip offs out there.

Anyway, just a warning ... in case you become the next target.

Joelle,
we know WHO you are, but seldom know WHERE you are.
Now if they're looking for a candidate for a Road Runner...
