[AccessD] OT: Who's Who listings

The paper letter seems to be legit by virtue of the paper for sure.  I don't beleive either request is asking for really personal info but I sure took a leap when I checked my e-mail and saw another version of the same thing!  Who's the real Who's Who anyway?

By coincidence (maybe) my daughter received a letter yesterday from Who's Who in Middle School saying she'd been pre-selected for a listing in this book (Who's Who in Middle School).  We were certainly proud to see this but I checked my personal e-mail account this AM after being away from any PC related activity yesterday to find that I've been selected to appear in something called the Madison Who's Who which I've never heard of.  Both requests ask for additional biographical information.  I don't know what info. off-hand sorry (don't have the docs here with me).

Jim,

If the letter your daughter got was a paper letter, then I do believe
that it's probably valid.

I received one when I was in High School in FL for a year.

The e-mail you received, I'd be wary of. I think that the timing of
the e-mail is probably just a coincidence, but if the paper letters
come out this time every year, then the timing may be more than just
coincidece. It may be specifically designed to coincide with the real
letters.

Just my $0.02
