About ISFP
The International Society of Female Professionals helps women to overcome traditional barriers to successful careers. The society was newly minted in August 2019 in New York City with the mission of being the nation’s premier advocate for professional women of all walks of life and in virtually any professional field of endeavor.Despite women being about equal in number to males worldwide, there are far fewer in the professional world. There are fewer women doctors, lawyers, and other professional fields. There are fewer women executives and business owners despite many examples of prior success.Women have proven they are equally capable of excelling and leading in professional fields, executive roles, and entrepreneurship. Yet, our opportunities remain far fewer than those of our male counterparts. We aim to change that.The International Society for Female Professionals is a global advocate for professional women and actively promotes female advancement at the professional, executive, and entrepreneurial levels. We create a beneficial network that helps to encourage additional investment in the many excellent skills and leadership abilities that women possess but often go overlooked.Our sole purpose is to tear down the commonly encountered barriers that professional women face. Those barriers include lower pay, the proverbial glass ceiling, and fewer opportunities for advancement than our male counterparts. Instead of accepting invisible barriers to success, we work to remove those obstacles and forge new inroads for success.The International Society for Female Professionals creates a community of skilled and talented professional women who have widely varied career goals but share virtually the same obstacles toward success. We are growing our global network of exceptionally experienced, talented, and accomplished women to help support one another while we continue to grow at the national and international levels.Our membership includes licensed professionals, ent

If I could give zero stars, I would because it is a complete scam. I reluctantly agreed to a "reduced" lifetime membership rate after explaining to the rep that I needed time to review and make a decision. I ended up paying $199 for the lifetime membership which actually included NOTHING. They sent me a certificate of membership which contains a typo and when I attempted to get a hold of someone via email and phone, I never had any luck. I have since called and emailed for a refund within the 15 days they claim you have to collect and again, can't get a hold of a person to process my request. I have tried using the networking connections buttons on the website as well as the chat function and nothing works.
CAUTION...THIS IS A SCAM!

“I received my refund right away!”
When I spoke to them I was feeling weird about providing my credit card information over the phone, but I was completely mindful that I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt and try their service even though it felt weird. Afterwards, I went online read a few more reviews about them, and you can imagine I went "inside crazy", and questioning myself why I did not do research first. With all these nice reviews, now I want to look for a refund. So, I read a review from one of their previous employees and as she wrote "the managers are trying to change the reviews" this gave me hope that now their practices should have improved. At this point I am testing my feet in the water, not entirely sure if they are scammy or poorly managed, and I thought "let's see how they react about giving me a refund".
During the first call the lady that asked for my card details was nice and gave me her phone number, although when I tried calling back it did not rang (pulling my hair here) maybe i wrote it wrong, maybe it was given wrong? (Scam!). I wanted a refund, so I called their other number that had been saved in my call history, they answered (wheww... not a scam?) and spoke with another nice lady who understood my situation when explained. no more questions asked. She put me on hold to talk to finance department, and I was going crazy "omg, they are going to leave me here waiting" (scam!) but no, after a couple minutes I was speaking with the lady again (wheewww) and said she had talked with finance and they will issue a refund that I was going to see within 24h. Okay? Grieving period time (scam! Scammy!), but about 15 minutes later I received an email letting me know about my refund and when check in my card statement just now I saw the refund reflected (all within 15 minutes of fast customer service). (Yayyy no scammy at all... inner bubble party)
I would say they are going the right way about making their company a bit more trustworthy, one review and one step at a time. For now, this is my brief experience with them and not bad at all.
But for now, I will change my card because I don't know if according to other reviewers I will start getting charged in my card or if they have improved and solved the problem.
Nevertheless, someday I hope to be in a position to spend that money without knowing if it will be back and be okay with it (in a prepaid credit card). To see and test their service and be able to give them another hopefully good review. Because I believe that the intention of such organization is not bad at all, and helping connect us is overall a good purpose

Big time Scam
Big time Scam
I got a call on Monday telling me that my application was processed and they need to ask me some questions. I came across their link on Instagram. The young lady was so professional. She gave me a number to contact her and said she would be the one dealing with my profile. She asked me a few questions like on an interview then told me amazing you are accepted for the membership but I have to pay $99 for 5 years or $199. For a lifetime. Usually I would ask so many questions but i was so excited because i just became a business owner and that type of traffic would really help me to build my brand. She asked for my card information which i gave her. Luckily for me that card I only put money on it when I need to handle personal transactions so it did not really have money on it. I had to send an email to the bank so they can get me another card. People please do not fall for this scam. These scammers are playing on the vulnerability of women and taking they hard earned money. Never give out any card information over the phone. And put it out there for other people not to become victims of this. I was very disappointed in myself I could not even tell my fiance about this.

ISFP Scam! Don't get sucked in by woman's American accent
ISFP Scam
I filled out my details through LinkedIn in Dec 2020 and I received a phonecall from a woman in New York the next day, who sounded professional and after a set of questions about my career, she asked for a payment for $99 for 5-year membership and that I would receive various items in a welcome package. I am normally hesitant to give my card details over the phone but was conned because of her sounding professsional. After a month passed, I recieved no welcome package and queried it, which is when they shared some login details. A week later, in early February, I noticed a pending payment for $40 from them on my credit card which I had not authorised and asked my Bank to put a block on all payments to them and I wrote to them. They apologised and gave some excuse about it being a monthly profile maintenance fee; which was odd as the first woman I spoke to had claimed that all costs would be covered by the $99. After a week or so, I then received a call from a different woman describing the profile they were creating for me that would reach millions (!) on search engines and that the fee for that was $199 and she asked if the card ending XXXX was mine and if she could take payment. Knowing that I'd blocked all payments, I tried to see what she would come back with and within 10mins she had called back to notify me that the payment did not go through. This is when I realised that this was a scam, given how pressing they are to have you agree to payment over the phone. This is clearly a sophisticated scam going through LinkedIn and targeting women the way that they are. Don't be fooled by the professional sounding woman/women that telephone to discuss how they can propel your career by joining their society.

Nothing on their website
Nothing on their website, it’s a simple gated landing page. And they call you in the middle of a working day while you as a professional woman are working hard. They disturb your focus instead of sending an email that you can read when you actually have time. This is clearly a scam.

I fell for this scam of a company…
I fell for this scam of a company sadly. I ended up paying $199 for lifetime membership. Eric, the rep on the phone sounded extremely illiterate and I fell for his "acceptance to the group." I noticed after the $199 that there was a recurring $39.99 fee that I did not authorize. I called the numbers listed and emailed but no response, surprise surprise. I should have listened to my gut and not joined, but I thought they were verified on linked in. I am now working on getting the charges reversed. Don't join them!

Recieved a call from "Joe Getty"
Recieved a call from "Joe Getty", similar to all the reported expriences on here, after i submitted some of my details when i saw an advert on linkedin. The guy called me within a day after submitting the details and appeared very professional to begin with. He asked me a few interview questions and then congratulated me that i have been accepted to the network and proceeded to explain what will be done for me (website and presence etc). Once done, he asked me to pay a membership fee for lifetime USD 598! As I work in compliance I then said that I would like to review their website and do my due diligence before signing up to anything. To which he got suddenly very nervous and started wrapping up the call rapidly. I started to ask him for numbers and statistics. Be mindful that they ask all these questions to use them later as selling points against you! NEVER, i repeat, NEVER make a payment via phone or give away your credit card details. It is highly suspicious if a company that charges nearly 600 quid doesn't even have a proper impressum on their website or any contact is only behind a walled contact form or generic phone number. No information about who is runnign the website or who is owning the company. It's a shame as i really got excited about joining a female network of professionals.

Do not fall for it to pay memberahip
Do not fall for it to pay memberahip. I also think it was a scam. The girl on the phone asked me some questions regarding my profession and future plans without really listening. Even asked one of the questions 2 times and when I told her I already answered she kept on talking about how the application procedure worka. Felt like talking to a robot. Then insisting to pay membership over the phone which was suspicious. So no thanks !
