So this is a caller from "Dinner For Two", his name was James and he was really nice. I have recently registered on TheKnot.com for my upcoming wedding. He said that I had won a Honeymoon. I could choose between 3 packages: Matching Wedding bands, a honey moon trip (mexico, Bahamas, or the Dominican Republic) or the final package which was also to a honey moon but to select locations in the USA. He said "the only catch is that your fiance' and you have to attend a bridal show were we give a small presentation on china and cookware, together. You both MUST attend. You will receive two Champagne flutes with your names and wedding date engraved on them just for coming." I tried to ask all the right questions to get the answers I needed in order to determine if this is a scam or not.It seemed too good to be true so I researched them. Turns out they call a ton of people and only a few had good things to say. When I asked James about how many people actually win this, he replied that Thousands of people are submitted and they choose 10% of the entries.I went online and entered this compnay in and found a few forums that popped up wit their name. All of the stories were almost identical to mine. "I got this call....won a honey moon...attend a bridal show...is this real?"But what most had in common was that many had attended the show (I mean come on, who wouldn't? You think you have won a honeymoon.) and the presentation and the salesmen are pushy and they really try to push you into buying their product. Apparently the price tags on these items are outrageous. From what I have read, many people get up and walk out and don't even stay to the end. I have read only a handful of people who stay to the end and they receive the packages that they were promised. Many of them who stay, say that they purchased the product though and then received the packages. So if you are asking "Do I actually have to buy their product to get the honey moon?" I do not know. I am attending tonight and I plan to stay to the end just so I can find out for sure if you have to purchase the product in order to get your "Free Honey moon package". I hope this helps some of you who are getting these calls and maybe you can decide for yourself if it is a scam. Best of luck to you!I will update my findings Monday morning.
If you registered on David's Bridal, TheKnot.com, or similar sites then that is how they got your number. Those sites give out your phone number and address so these guys can bombard you with spam and useless mail.
If you do not want these calls or mail then tell them to remove you from their calling log.
as for if you receive mail, put an "X" on the piece of mail and put it back into the mail box.
