These charlatans have got my bank account details somehow (apparently I signed up but I have no recollection of this...) and they have repeatedly tried to take money varying between £20 and £470 out of my bank account throughout this year. I contacted them and they said they would stop, it has continued and they no longer reply to me. I am on the verge of closing my bank account because of them. This is distressing and must be criminal.

This is a scam!!! Credit alerts notify me constantly that they continue to try to charge me over and over again. These type of business really need to be prosecuted. This really gives professional women associations a bad reputation.

THIS IS A SCAM. In just over two months they have taken more than USD 1000 from my visa card. It was done in four small payments and 2 bigger amounts. They have one phone number and no one answers the phone. A machine tells you to send an email. Email has an automatic respond. They answer with a general reply finally, just ignoring that they took all this money from my VISA card.

I just got called from the society! An english lady named ‘Elizabeth’, she was very polite on phone but I became curious when she 'approved' me to be a member right away. So I quickly went to my computer to look up this group and saw all these 1 star reviews! Before ending the call she wanted me to buy a 'membership' for marketing of myself. She then asked which offer I would like to buy, I said thank you but I always do my due diligence, so please send me an email with the information and I will decide later. She hung up very quickly.

For multiple consecutive days in June of 2022, my phone was flooded w/ unfamiliar NYC calls. I broke down and answered during an unusual no-show hour, doing paperwork (I'm a telehealth therapist) - I was intending to answer only to implore them to STOP CALLING ME. Imagine my surprise - a friendly, engaging, polished-sounded woman on the other end advised that per my LinkedIn profile, I'd been selected to participate in an interview process for the, "International Society of Professional Women (Enter stellar-sounding mission statement of phony organization here). "Do you have about 20 or 30 minutes to talk?" I let my curiosity get the best of me. Nail in coffin # 1! The caller proceeds to pull off an Academy Award performance "interview". I actually believed she cared about what I had to say; I actually put EFFORT and THOUGHT into my responses! Unbelievably, I felt I'd accomplished something when she told me that, "From what you shared with me today, you sound like you'd make a great fit for the ISFP, which will help you further cultivate your professional growth and open up a world of resources and networking opportunities. For a lifetime membership fee of $499, you'll receive *insert overwhelming litany of BS bennies I never received here*. I expressed reluctance. Her response was to keep reducing the "lifetime membership" price. I asked for an invoice to be emailed to me so I could pay online. My time was running short at this point. "We only accept payments over the phone." (Enter persistent caller rebuttals to, "I have to go", "I'm running out of time", "It seems odd you don't process payments electronically, it's 2022", "I'd actually like to discuss this with my husband"). In a fog of time-crunch anxiety, I exercised extreme stupidity - I gave my CC info to the caller, promising myself to take advantage of the 15-day cancelation policy if buyer's remorse set in. I received an expeditious welcome email, but waited on snail-mail "membership materials" promised to me. And waited. Nothing arrived - ever. I was within the 15-day window. Time to cancel! The ISFP phone number I was provided was manned by VM only, which dictated an email for communication, including with "billing concerns". I received an affirmative email response to my brief but assertive request to cancel my membership. When 72 hours passed without a refund, my CC company stepped in - no harm, no foul. I had all of my money back. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE: AFTER I WAS REFUNDED, I FORGOT ABOUT ISFP, LET DOWN MY GUARD, AND THOUGHT IT ALL WAS SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED, DONE. Late Autumn 2022: I received a text message from my CC company. "Professional Women's Society" was attempting to hose my account for $ 599.99, which naturally, I declined. A brief online search told me that the "Professional Women's Society" had the same contact info as "The ISFP". This brought me down an internet rabbit hole to discover the depth of just how insidious and fraudulent an organization the ISFP is. Related note: NEVER go more than a month without reviewing your CC statements, which the fraudulent $ 599.99 charge prompted me to do - a little too late. I alarmingly discovered that I had been charged over $ 1.8 K via multiple unauthorized transactions over a time span of 5 months from this awful, exploitative organization - dollar amounts which ultimately hid in plain sight amid other higher-dollar home improvement purchases I'd made legitimately during this same time period (thus, my higher than usual statements didn't raise any eyebrows). Good news: my CC company help me get back about $ 1K of the total loss . Bad news: $ 800 of the charges were not refundable since they fell out of the 120 day window CC's allow for disputes. It sickens me that the ISFP still has large chunk of my hard-earned funds. ICING ON THE CAKE: Thanks to my CC company and my now-diligent statement checks , I have been refunded 2x additional $ 49.00 charges which were placed in the month of November - MONTHS after thinking I'd never hear anything from ISFP again. For good measure, I contacted ISFP via email to inquire, nastily stating my membership should have been canceled in 2022, and they wrote me back, stating I'd been refunded for both charges - "for monthly membership and profile maintenance fees", and promised, "Furthermore, your billing details have been expunged from the system to ensure there are no further charges." YEAH, RIGHT. I will be monitoring my statements like a HAWK! Hoping at some point, this organization will be shuttered....

TOTAL SCAM. Last year after agreeing to pay for "lifetime" membership, I was charged over $350 for "media subscription". They eventually refunded however negated to follow my request to cancel my subscription. Surprise .... surprise, I was just billed again. RUN if they ever contact you with their false claims of building female network.

TOTAL SCAM. I joined the IFPI in 2020 and soon realised it was a scam when they started taking many hundreds out of bank account for receiving no service at all other than a flashy website. I stopped the payments but they never refunded me the monies they promised. Anyway I thought that was the end of it until July this year.... 'Www.womensNet' have been taking £70ish out of my account every month. Despite repeated calls to my bank these payments and my card being stopped the payments keep coming out and I am convinced it is the IFPI. I'm now in a formal complaints process with my bank and may have to close my account to stop these payments. I wonder how many women out there this is happening to?!

Shocking scam - do not sign up. Take our money for years despite all our efforts to get them to stop.
