The WWA Opiniones 

This is a SCAM. I received a call this morning. The woman "Kayanna" sounded professional when I first answered the phone, and she said she wanted to ask me a "few" questions. After 15 minutes and after she asked about 10 questions, she declared me "accepted for membership." Then she offered two options: lifetime at $299 or 5 years at $199. I told her that I was in the car and, if she sent something to review via email, I would get back to her. Then I googled the organization and saw many complaints. I don't even remember expressing interest in this organization although I might have clicked something I saw on Linked In. Be careful who you talk to! I should have asked "Kayanna" more questions at the beginning.

The WWA presents themselves as a organization that offers networking opportunities, a sisterhood of global leaders. It does not support this. As a new lifetime member, I expected to log on to the site and find opportunities to connect with other female processionals across the globe, to learn about their experiences and find professional development opportunities. Instead, membership got me access to their site where I have a profile, can see featured members [member of the year], and search for members. In the profile, there is a Perk& Benefits link that takes you to a different site, Lorman, where you can register for a variety of webinars... for a fee. It was an unfortunate waste of my money and time as I see no benefits to membership.

I strongly advise others to avoid the Worldwide Women's Association (WWA). I was charged $399 without consent, despite having clearly informed them in 2023 (after I had to dispute the unauthorized charge of $499), I specifically wrote that I do not wish to continue the membership. Even more concerning, the charge in 2025 was processed using a credit card that had been replaced over 18 months earlier, raising serious concerns about how they store and access payment data.

After several follow-ups, they eventually promised a refund, which I only received after opening a formal dispute with my bank (the same day, today). Until then, they ignored or delayed all communication.

It’s also worth noting that there is no way for members to delete their account or cancel their subscription via any user portal. You are entirely dependent on email responses, which are inconsistent and unreliable.

Let this serve as a warning: Any future attempt to charge my card will be considered willful misconduct, and I will not hesitate to pursue legal action under GDPR and U.S. consumer protection laws.

This is not how a legitimate or trustworthy organization should operate.

Got a call today from rep, was super excited. Had "interview". I got suspicious when it sounded like she was ending for a timeshare close. She was HIGHLY scripted. I started looking up scams online and heard about their close for the membership costs. I told her I didn't feel comfortable giving my CC information without membership information in writing. She said that to compose the package/e-mail/info, it costs time and money. I said if you want to send me info that I can review, I'll do that first. She gave me the website. I doubled down on the insistence that I will not pay without receiving information first. When I said that she hung up on me. I'm so nervous now though because I talked through my entire professional background and am concerned they'll use that to impersonate me. BEWARE!

If I could score a 0 or -10, I would. This company is so shady and scams people on a daily basis. Pushing sales calls, unauthorized credit card charges, delayed refunds, you name it! Run away if you ever hear from them!

I got a call today! She was very friendly. At the end of the interview she asked if I wanted to join for 5 years subscription or lifetime, because I felt good about the whole interview, I said I would sign up for lifetime, then she mentioned the discount if I chose to use a master card, I told her that I didn’t have one. She said visa was fine. Then my intuition kicked in and told me to slow down. I told her that I didn’t have my business card on me, as I was at work, she replied that “all professionals always carry their cc!” Alarm went off!!! Then I told her to follow up with an email and a payment link or to call back after 5 PM. She declined following up through email stating that I needed to pay first, but she agreed to call after 5.
So I started investigating and found myself here :)
please be careful out there and don’t ever make any payment on a first
incoming and unsolicited call.

I received a phone call and asked that they call me the next day, which they did. It all sounds good on paper and might be a ligament networking organization but the pressure to sign up and pay money "right now, today" was a turn off. As we continued to talk the membership price went down. My intuition is that something is amiss.

I had a similar experience to all the other women that have written reviews. The conversation went well up until the end asking for a Mastercard. I said, I have a call can I call you back. The representative said No and hung up on me. This is so shady, I don't know how they are in business.

They called me at 9 AM when my brain is still slow and went through an interview, then approved my profile: "Congratulations! You are eligible to become a member.." Then, they asked if I wanted to sign up for the 5-year or the lifetime membership and offered a discount if I used a Mastercard. That was where I got suspicious... I'm glad I ended the conversation without sharing any more information. There must be a way to STOP these people!

This so-called organization is a scam. I have never enrolled in anything membership but they keep trying to charge my credit card.

Sounds like a Scam! Most of the reviewers were mentioning the initial call from a friendly operator and how they got scammed. My initial call was horrible. The operator was not only extremely rude, she made it seem like she was doing me a favor! Then she tried to sell me this package and started to raise her voice when I was telling her to send me more info. I might have fallen for the scam too if my caller was friendly and polite! No way was I giving this lady my cc after the initial impression she gave me of the organization

BEWARE!! I would give zero stars but had to chose one. I wish I’d known this before they made an unauthorized charge on my credit card. I was contacted back in April/May to join this organization, believing this was a reputable organization for networking of professional women. After a brief interview, I was told I would be a lifetime member and offered a discount for a one-time fee of $249, which I agreed too. I then later learned through LinkedIn that this organization is a scam therefore I began to closely monitor my account. The first week of June I began getting phone calls from a male from this association stating they needed information about me for their press release, which I Never agreed too. I advised him I was busy and couldn’t speak at that time. He then called me back the following week. When he told me who he was, I immediately hung up and blocked the phone number he’d call me from. I have been a police officer/detective for over 20 years, and I should have known better but became suspicious and they did exactly what I knew they would do. On June 13, 2025, I received a notification from my bank of a charge of $449.99 from the Worldwide Women’s Association. I Never authorized this charge and was never informed via email or receipt from this organization that they were charging my credit card. Thankfully my bank immediately reversed the charge and I’ve cancelled that card, which is now a hassle as I have to update my card for all my automatic payments. This associations practices are extremely deceptive and a complete scam! When I attempted to call the organization, I was told by the woman on the phone, “what they did had nothing to do with her” and that “it was a issue of the finance department.” When I asked her to transfer me to someone in the finance department, she told me she was going to disconnect and hang up on me and to have a good day and hung up on me. I also sent them an email, and I highly doubt anyone will respond. Sadly, other victims of this association may not get their money back or even a response from this group. This association should be shut down and even criminally charged as they are taking advantage of women, emotionally and financially. Again, BEWARE!

Called me today (from a sketchy phone number that starts with a V) and said I’d applied before and now I’ve been accepted. I hadn’t applied before. They knew my name, which is a little spooky. Anyway, I hung up.

Scam alert! I was called today, saying I had filled out an application that has been approved. She asked me some questions about my career and offered to gift me a lifetime membership for $199 in exchange of hotel vouchers. I did a quick google search while on the phone and there are 300+ complaints at the BBB. When I told her this, she hung up on me.

This is a complete scam. I received a call by a friendly operator who asked me questions about my career, congratulated me on being 'accepted' as a member and immediately went into the process of telling me the membership fees for 5 years or lifetime. Started speaking very quickly. I told her that I wanted an email with this information and that I would think about it. She responded she couldn't do that. When I said I was not authorizing any sort of charge or payment, she hung up on me.

This company charged me an unauthorized charge of $399.99 in November 2023. I had to shut down my account get a new card and contact all of my card payments that were recurring. Now, again in May 2025, they have charged me again!!!! I did not authorize this charge and have no idea how they again got my banking information. This is a complete SCAM and they have no direct dial phone number. Just a voicemail directing you to contact via email. This needs to be shutdown immediately!!

This is a total SCAM. My credit card over charged with a promise to refund. DO NOT JOIN THIS GROUP! I have reached out to connect and nothing.
REPORT TO THE AUTHORITIES they need to be shut down. They are grabbing photos off the internet and falsely advertising that they are in the group.

Went through an "interview" over the phone and it felt completely bogus, luckily we got disconnected and I was able to do a little research, so glad I found information on them here. The call felt like a scam, and from what I am reading here it is.
Highly advise women that are contacted by this group to RUN!

This is a fraudulent scheme where they sold me a 'lifetime membership' for $149 in 2024, then proceeded to charge my card for another $459 which I had to jump through hoops to get refunded. Now, almost a year later they have billed my card for $240. I've requested multiple times for my card details to be deleted to no avail. They keep charging without any communication/email/products/services. Not sure how they can keep operating or what to do short of cancelling my card. I have had to reverse their fraudulent charges twice now with my bank.

This is a scam - they ask for immediate payment, so you don't have time to go to their website or see their BBB rating (horrible - 1 star - 211 complaints to date).
