Who's Who? Does this mean anything anymore? Have you been jacked?

[Sparky Kronkite]

Uh asked?

I was. But I smell scam.

Do they sell your information?

There's got to be some sort of a heist here. Right?

 

[TN_Vixen]

I think I missed

the first 2 hours of this conversation.

huh?

 

[*bratcat*]

Can you repeat the question please?

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

You know - Who's Who - the list - the fat book....

Who's Who in America. Right?

Maybe they now have Who's Who in the World - I don't know.

I never hear of it anymore - used to though when I was a kid - it seemed like a big deal then. But......

I don't hear much about them lately and if they're askin' me -

Well you know they must be in trouble.

I think it must have turned into some sort of a scam. I wondered if anyone else might know.

 

[TaffyJ]

I think he means...

The journals they make of "who's who in the ?? industry". I remember having seen a "Who's who among American High School Students." Yes, Sparky, if that's what you're talking about, it does seem a load of tripe. Who cares who's who? Who reads that stuff anyway?

 

[Purple Haze]

It must be a scam, they've asked me to be in it and I'm really not anybody.

There are several Who's Who(s)...they are only scams to the people who think a name a book means something important. It's simply a directory, and you pay to have your name listed.

I see it mentioned sometimes on resumes sent to me.


Hmmmmmm... how about a Who's Who in Smut and Porn?

Ah ha -

It appears to be a business/travel scam wraped in the guise of professional networking.

El rippo.

 

[plasticman33]

Checked that out before, you're right on Sparky!
