21st Century Brides....

IS this a legit place? I think they said they were 21st century weddings or brides or something. They said If me and FH come to a show of their products (but they stressed that it wasn't a time share thing) for an hour and a half that we get 3days 2 nights to a hotel somewhere and a gift certificate to some online catalog.
Anyone know anything about this? THey gave me whole bunch of information and said they picked my name at the Hilton when I went to the Metro Expo.
What do you think? Sound legit?

I got a call recently about something similar but with a different company name, I'm pretty sure it's a scam.

Here is another post about them

I just found this written by someone on another chat type site.

My fiance and I were contacted by 21st Century Concepts stating that we had one a 3 night, 4 day trip to Orlando, Mexico, Las Vegas or Hawaii. Our names were selected from drawing that was held at a bridal show. We were told that all we needed to do was go to a product demonstration to receive this prize.

On 9/19/00 at 6:00pm, we went to a local Holiday Inn and saw a 'Royal Prestige Cookware' demonstration. While there they informed us of how 'dangerous' our teflon cookware at home was. This information was disturbing to us. We were also told that the Mayo clinic endorsed this product, (which after viewing your site I see is not the case at all). So after lowering the price of the cookware and throwing in a china place setting for 4, we decided to purchase this cookware, which by the way came to about $2,300.

About 3 weeks went past and our cookware arrived along with a bill for $98. I sent in the payment and then decided to look at the credit financing information.The interest rate was around 24% and each monthly payment about $100. I told my fiancee that we can't afford this cookware and that it needed to be returned. So since it was never taken out of the box and used I figured that I could call our salesman, explain our financial situation to him and try to work something out as far as returning our cookware. So my fiancee called him the following day and immediatly he was totally against hearing us out or helping in any way. He told her there was nothing he could do and that under no circumstances whatsoever can this stuff be returned.

We called the company in Madison,WI. They said the items could not be returned for any reason and that they could do nothing. It was out out their hands. Since then we have called our salesman (Dan McGrath) about 11 times with nothing but an answering machine and not one return call. '

OMG, who would pay more than 2K for some cookware? Le Creuset doesn't cost that much! I guess people must buy it though, or they wouldn't still be trying to get new people, it has to be profitable.

As a rule, if I get anything that says 'You have won!' I toss it. I don't enter contests, and I know if I haven't entered, I haven't won anything. And if I somehow did win a door prize, they'll mail it. I don't enter contests because it's a great way for telemarketers and people like this to get your address and harass you more.
