It's a scam. Some gal from "Gateway Bride" and apparently I've won some sort of bridal package. After looking at some things about this company, they ask you to come view this presentation on cookwear, you get 2 $500 gift certs and a voucher for free accomodations. But from what I can tell, the products are cruddy and the free stuff you get is not really all that great. Their parent company is Royal Prestige and they're known for pulling this scam. I'm not bothering to call back. What I'd like to know is how they got my number.
I just had the same call!!! I called them back and asked how they got my number and they said by the time they get it, they don't know what show or anything that it came from. I haven't registered for any shows -- my fiance did but that was under his name, and we didn't even go. I did register online with David's Bridal to let me know when they have big sales and be entered to win something but I don't think it was this. Either way, I told her "Sorry, I'll have to pass" and she let it go pretty easily. Kind of ticks me off that she knows my name and cell phone number but doesn't know how and then throws in at the last minute about viewing or giving a presentation.. I don't want to spend $10 in gas to drive to St. Louis and watch that when it's probably a scam/rip off like I've seen online, other than just what you said.. Scams suck. Someone should report them to the FCC..except that you probably can't since it was some other company that gave them the number. Grr.
I receieved a call from this number and actually went to the 'seminar' on the cookware. Very impressed actually. Some of you girls need to not believe everything you read. I recieved what they said I would. There is no 'scam'
I got this call this morning. I didn't answer because I didn't know the number. Decided to look the number up online. To my surprise this is what I found. After reading some of the posts I realized that one commententer and I had the similar situations. I registered with David's bridal in the store, and she did online. I'm not saying that the company had anything to do with it but it is possible that somehow their records got compromised.
