    You need to close this company down. They provide no goods or services but charge your credit card.

    They are tricky.  They send you invoices by certified mail.  The notice of certified mail doesn't show the sender's name or address, so when you sign for it, that is considered approval of the invoice.  I have had to cancel my credit card because they have charged over 1300.00 without authorization and I have received absolutely nothing from them.

    It's even worse than that, they check the balance available on your credit card and hit you for whatever increment of $50 will be below your limit.  I've already been charged $150, $650,$650, and $750.

    When I reported the fraud to the credit card company, they called Prestigious National Honor Society and claimed that I authorized ALL of that money - I would NEVER have authorized that kind of withdrawal, but the credit card company (Chase) took their word over mine without even asking for proof, such as a signed invoice, recording, or other proof of purchase.

    Beware of other Who's Who operations.  I never authorized charges to this company, but was a member of other who's who publications, and somehow, they got my credit card and started draining my account.

    Whatever credit was available, they took up to that limit.

    So for it's been 4 out of 5 months.

    Working for them?

    Getting paid by them?

    So far I'm out $2,200

    Wanna give me your credit card number so I can charge it?

    I promise I'll only take out whatever Prestige takes from me!

    Looks like PNHS is posting their own "shills" to try and discredit those whose personal accounts have been drained.

    It's a bit like Bernie Madoff discrediting his detractors by pointing to those who came into the ponzie scheme early - who make money by perpetrating the hoax!

    I have had a running issue with Jennifer Shields at Prestigious National Honor Society starting in November 2010.
    I have an open complaint at the NY BBB.  But at this point I would be willing to be a part of a class Action law suit.
    If anyone has any information on anything that may be in play, please post on this page.

    This is so obviously a fake message. Anyone with half a brain knows that the Attorney General is not going to offer this type of information in an "ongoing" investigation.

    FYI
    I think people have Prestigious confused with Ashford,Pinnacle and Premiere Who's Who and three other companies Jeff Burton and Mayelin Then own. They prey on people and take their money but you people sit on here and believe there nonsense google jeff Burton he has already been in trouble before for illegal casinos.  Dont believe me investigate it yourself

    I also was suckered by this company.  I initially agreed to the
    $169.00 fee for the book. Called bk the next day and advised them I had changed my mind.  Was assured they would credit my account after arguing with me for several minutes.  Not only did not credit my c/c for the $169.00, they hit it for additional $750.00 3 weeks later.I have no idea what this charge is for.  I have just reported them to the fraud dept of my c/c.  Wish I had been smart enough to review them before I agreed to the offer.  I am usually sharper than this. Makes me madder than a "Wet Hen" at myself as well as them. Me, for being stupid, them,for suckering people.  This is definitelt a "Buyer Beware" situation.  By the way I haven't received any Book either, just the unauthorized charges.  Imagine that!!

    I think this is the biggest ripoff company ever. After I gave them my credit card for a relatively small amount say $99., they then charged me on my card $750 later and even later $1500.
    Avoid them or if you don't, sue them.
    Of course, Discover won't help me either, so I will cancel my Discover card.

    This so-called Jennifer Shields is a fraud, and the company located at: Prestigious National Honor Society, 8A Commercial Blvd., Medford, NY, is a rip-off!  They contacted my friend, who's an elderly gentleman, and inquired if he was interested in donating $100 for children's education, he agreed to $100, PNHS charged his card for the 100, and then, get this, immediately hit is account for $1250, and indicated that it was a membership for posting his biography, whatever that means, hell we can do Facebook, and LinkedIn for free, why pay $1250 (to be exact) for a membership?!  A $1200 membership...give me a f... break!  Oh, and you'll love this, when he told his bank, the bank contacted PNHS, and PNHS faxed an invoice to his credit union with his signature on it!  So, ok, this is what I believe, these are some low-down scamming a$$holes, but they seem to have an elaborate network...I think someone pulled my friend's signature from somewhere...garbage, maybe a store, but they somehow got a hold of his signature (maybe with telephone number or personal information), sold it to this scum in NY, they solicited, forged his name, and robbed him.  This investigation is ongoing, and with the NY BBB...

    Hi I was a member with this PNHS society. From my knowledge the company is no longer in business. Contact your credit card company and ask for your money back i did and I got it back it was only $99 dollars but its mine. I brought into the registry but changed my mind once I started reading all these posts on here. Just call the credit card company trust me you will get your money back!!!

    It's strange that, considering your advanced education, you can't spell PhD properly.

    You must work for their company...
    They called about a year ago while I was driving and put the high pressure sale on to write a bio on our company and publish it in their book and after telling them no 4 times, they said for $99 they would write the story, send us a proof for us to look over and 2 airline tickets to anywhere in the US.  So I gave them our credit card for a $99 charge. Big Mistake.  The the airline info came in the mail but it was blurry and undreadable.  I called them and asked for a better copy and they sent another blurry copy.  No story was ever presented. They called me over and over and were trying to sell me on getting a plaque for our office for $495 and I said no, over and over.  They started charging our credit card in increments of $500 two times a month and some months were $1000 charges two times a month until the total charges they charged was $17,000.  Because it was over a several month period we didn't catch it.  Because some of the charges are over 120 days old, CITI BANK said they can't reinburse more than 1/4 of the charges. Does anyone know what can be done to get a full reinbursement and we will take this company down!
