All of the names that I mentioned in the title of this blog are SCAMS!!!! I repeat SIMPLICITY BRIDE, BRIDAL REGISTRY & BRIDAL GOURMET are all SCAMS.
If you go to a bridal show and give out your information to the various businesses most of them sell your contact info to this company -- especially "DAVID'S BRIDAL". I say "this company" because it's the same company with various names so that they can continue scamming people.
They will assign a different telemarketer to each person they call and that telemarketer will tell you that you were picked to win a bundle of free gifts. These gifts include, wedding invitations, flutes, a $25 gift card, coupons and a free 3 day 2 night vacation. They offer two choices with the vacation, one is all inclusive and the other is just for a stay at a selected resort. NOTHING IS FREE!!!
The wedding invitations turn out not to be free, they will give you a coupon that says 10% off, the will tell you that they will email you the gift card and they never will, and the vacation requires a $100 deposit for each person. No one has ever confirmed that they went on the trip.
Also, they will give you a location to so call "come pick up your gifts." When you arrive you will have to listen to a 1 1/2 long presentation on how these top-of-line pots and pans will be the best purchase of your life. The salesman is pretty persuasive but it didn't work on me. You later find out that the pots and pans are worth $4000. Yes, $4000!
In the end, don't get scammed by these people. They are greedy pigs who prey on couple's who are trying to start a new life together. As for David's Bridal, they should be ashamed of themselves. Why do they need to sell phone numbers and email addresses to 3rd parties when they are one of the top bridal companies? Oh yeah, one of the numbers that called me was from phone number (615) 832-2387.
I am 100% agreement this company is FULL of SCAM artists. DO NOT USE THEM! I am on disability. They sent us the same package stating we would receive cookware and our account would be drafted monthly. We NEVER received the cookware, nor could we get into the VACATION PACKAGE SPECIAL after they sent us two NEW VACATION CODES.
ReplyDeleteWe returned any items previously sent as per agreement with their staff, Jennifer and Sierra. We were told as soon as they received it ALL of our money taken from the bank account, after we told them to stop drafting which is illegal. We have confirmation of when and who signed the received package and ARE STILL FIGHTING TO GET BACK OUR MONEY. First is was to be autodrafted, then they were having problems with their machine, then they sent it overnight by USPS. When we asked for the tracking number, SIERRA told us they did not give tracking numbers. We called the USPS and were GUARANTEED that whether it is shipped overnight or priority mail (2-3 days), a tracking number is ALWAYS given.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE STEAL FROM SOMEONE RAISING A CHILD WHO LIVES ON DISABILITY INCOME?!!!!
Thank you so much for this! I signed up but just cancelled.
