if they are like, "u can join! have ur name in our fantastic yearbook for only 45 dollars!"

then its such horse crap and just a scam to get ur cash while they print ur name in a book for nothing.

*squawk*

OMG! SO TRUE! My sister got a letter similar to that. A letter saying that she submitted some essay and got nominated or some crap like that. And then that she should pay $69.99 for a "gold-framed deluxe album." "Act now and you can get it engraved for $79.99!!!" I think it might've been the NSHSS! pinch.gif

And almost everyone at my school taking any advanced and/or honors class, regardless of their academics, received a letter from "Who's Who" blah blah blah! Seriously, this girl who was in my advanced World History class (last school year, sophmore year) received the letter, and so did the rest of my class. Half of the class are lazy and usually don't get high marks and yea.. whistling.gif And the letter would say "You've been nominated by your teacher blah blah blah and you're at the top 5% of your class!!!"

Some crap like that. sweating.gif

They're all scams, imo. ANYTHING like that which asks you to pay a feel for something (especially that high) is a scam.

Poetry.com is a scam. Why, they make billions of dollars annually from sales to gullible people. mad.gif
