Bridal Show Scam? HELP!

Went to one tonight. It was a fun little show and they fed us. They offered rings and a 7 day trip if we went. The guy was super cool and said if you just want the gifts, you can get them at the end and leave without buying anything. I actually looked into this company before going and they are a legit company trying to make people healthier. We enjoyed the show and purchased some pans(totally worth it they were cheaper than William Sonoma and made of surgical steal) with a full lifetime warranty no matter what happens to them and you can pass them down through your family and can still get replacements even 50 years from now.

Yes the guy told us about paying taxes but that makes sense. They can’t give away hundreds of free trips away without paying for something. We were the last show our town and he even gave us an extra trip to Vegas with flights because we stayed and talked (we just have to pay taxes). Super cool with that because I’ll save some money where I can. Not everything is a scam, companies have to make money somehow.

View Quoted Comment Yes! Please do! I also 'Won' a package, so im verrry curious to see how this works out for you! Congrats and best of luck to you both!

View Quoted Comment Yes that is false, they invite you to sit through 2 hour presentation for the pots, then they give you your free gift, and tell you about your free 3 day two night vacation, you get to choose the dates you want when you go because it never expires, you aren’t forced to buy anything, and nothing is rammed down your throat, you have an option to buy but you ultimately don’t have to.

View Quoted Comment I won, and all you do is go to a 2 hour presentation on the mill house pots, and after the presentation they give you your free gift and your free trip that never expires and you get to choose out if 4 destinations and you get to choose any date you want because it never expires, everyone says they force you to buy but they actually don’t you have the option to buy, ultimately you don’t have to buy anything

View Quoted Comment Did you ever go on the trip?

Do the honey moon accommodations actually work though ??

View Quoted Comment Can I ask what was the outcome of this? Was the trip okay? What exactly did you have to pay for? Around how much? Trying to see if it’s worth it.

View Quoted Comment Have you heard back? Is it worth it?

View Quoted Comment Yes I heard back. We received the link for the trip. The whole "it's free, you just gotta pay airfare and taxes" was indeed a scam. If you go directly to the hotels' websites, the fares are the same and in some cases cheaper than doing it through the "prize".

View Quoted Comment Hello any updates? Thank❤️

It’s not a scam unless you don’t get what you were promised. In order to get the prizes you might have to sit through some presentation and pay some fees/taxes. But they will sell you hard. So if your No game is strong then go for it!

Sounds like a scam to me!

Is this legit? That is so AWESOME

So here’s the deal y’all do you say that the show is 60 minutes when actually it’s 90 minutes in the entire time talking about their pots and pans using scare tactics saying that you will get cancer Alzheimer’s if you continue using the pants you have at home. Basically the breakdown is that you pay $6000 for a set of pots and pans. And then if you say no to all of this crap that they’re trying to sell you and just go to get your free gift you have to pay $21.95 just to get this low quality knife and $13 to get the voucher for your vacation not including all the fees and taxes. Don’t go it’s a waste of your time and total scam

View Quoted Comment Hi. Did you ever actual go on the trip? I’m contemplating whether to go to this presentation or not.

I had a similar call too, but have to show up with my my fiance as proof that is wasn't some single girl at a bridal expo trying to win free stuff. Haha

View Quoted Comment Omg did you update this anywhere?

Thank you for posting this. I got the same call and was curious if it was a scam. I see now clearly that it is. Apparently they’re doing the same old trick 2 years later!

Is this cookware company in New York City? Because they texted me and they said I won $800 worth wedding bands and a Vacation Voucher. I'm going there this thursday. They said No Purchase necessary.
