Not really. The Montclair Who's Who scam, according to the reports I've found on the web, always costs money. Respondents have said that when they called the number for their "interview" they were hit with "membership" fees of up to $800.00! When they protested about the price, they found there was an alternative package that cost less... sometimes in several steps, down to around $99.00 IIRC. But *no one*, as far as can be determined, gets into the Montclair book for free.
The one time I responded to one of these scams, back in about 1978 or 1979, it was nothing like that much. That was the "... Among American High School Students". No interview, for the base package, which was simply a copy of the book, if I recall correctly. I don't recall if there were "higher level" packages. I bought the book, mostly because it was only about US$30 plus shipping, and I think the total was less than US$40. Which, I'm sure, is why I still get these scam "invitations", thirty years later.
