The WWAReviews of worldwidewomensassociation.com

I signed up 3 years ago when I was setting up my business. I paid for a ‘lifetime’ membership. Soon after they started trying to take other payments. I asked what for and they were add ins for setting up my profile, etc. I told them I didn’t want to pay anything else so they said they’d make a note and stop future payments. That was 3 years ago. The last 3 months they have been trying to take money from my personal bank account (I didn’t have a business one set up at the time I joined). Each time it’s a different amount ranging from £250 - £400. Luckily, each time they’ve tried to take money I didn’t quite have enough money in that account to cover it and I contacted my bank to advise these payments are not authorised. I’ve tried emailing them to tell them to stop trying to take money from my account and that this is fraud. No responses to emails and they have tried to take another payment again. Just been on the phone to my bank again and they have now flagged up that payment are not authorised and they will start an investigation into this company and flag them up as fraudulent. DO NOT sign up with them. They are scammers and once they’ve got your bank details they will keep trying to take payments you haven’t authorised.

I joined this organisation for an agreed amount of $199 as they offered a website and networking opportunities with other professionals. A few months later, I discover that they have charged $500 twice to my credit card without informing me in advance. They ignore my emails completely so I have no idea what these charges are for, nor did I agree to them.

This company is a scam. I signed up in October, no communication since; today, they tried charging my card $499 for some “media kit”. I declined the charge on my bank’s end, reported it as fraud, emailed the WWA and asked for someone to call me immediately. I’ve sent 4 emails total, asking for someone to call, and instead they just cancel the charge. I’ve tried calling the number, but it’s a looped recorded message with no way of speaking to someone. Do not sign up for this account.

I am really grateful reading these reviews, I am sure this company has things to offer however one of the things that really struck me was how much you were being pressured to handover money right then and there. And was told that I would receive a special discount if I use a MasterCard and to hear some of these horror stories of getting this discount and being charged almost $500.04 weeks later is disgusting and seems a really slimy way to do business. No thanks and it’s a shame because I’m sure there’s women out there who could benefit from something like this as a new business owner. I mean we are living in hard times. We are obviously signing up because we need to do a little bit better or could do a little bit better and to hear some of these stories about being charged all this money just makes me feel like there’s something really underhanded going on there, thanks for what you do for us women!

Whew! Apparently I dodged a HUGE bullet! I received an email from WWA organization saying they were following up on the application I submitted and the phone call I had with one of their membership coordinators. They said I did not complete the enrollment process and offered me a $100 discount for signing up through a link in the email. RED FLAG #1: I NEVER completed an application for this org (I never even heard of WWA before the email), #2: I NEVER spoke to one of their coordinators. Also, as I know about all the scammers that are out there I was very suspicous and of course didn't click any links in that email. I decided to google WWA and IMMEDIATELY saw the bad reviews about WWA here on Trustpilot! I'm so grateful for all the honest reviews on here. It reinforced my "gut feeling" to not click those links and to just delete the email. BEWARE EVERYONE!

My credit was charged a second time without my authorization. This organization has not provided any value and I didn't even get any sort of email confirmation about the membership. Beware!

reminds me of those honor societies that tell you you are inducted for after high school and college. and they some how find your contact info. think i found where that 499.99 charge people see is coming from. they prob aren't getting it form you 99/299 fee!

"devil is in (always) in the details"

I want to thank everyone for their honest reviews, I feel that I have dodged a bullet. As a struggling SBO I am unbelievably tired of the repeated emails urging me to sign up. Also, since my phone interview, I have received so many daily phone calls where the caller will not respond back when I answer the call which is extremely frustrating to say the least and at other times all I hear is office noise in the background. While my initial call started off very courteous and respectful it became a high-pressure sales call with no explanation of "real benefits", only vague promises with repeated requests for payment even though I had explained that it was undoable at this time and ANY time in the near future.
