Hmmmm.....sounds fishy

SOOOOO...apparently I'm a raffle winner of the bridal expo I went to on Sun. It's from a company called rpbrides.com Anyone ever hear of them?

So I won three things:
1) A three day two night trip to one of 23 destinations
2) A $1000 gift certificate to grocerycardusa.com
3) 20-40% off the products at their showcase that we have to attend to get all the prizes

Sound a little scammy??

Re: Hmmmm.....sounds fishy

i would def be hesitant..... type the company name in google and see what comes up

Re: Hmmmm.....sounds fishy

Where was the showcase? I would call the company who ran the showcase and ask if this company was one of their vendors.

If they say no and know nothing about them then that's a little shady imo.

Sounds like a scam. There are always ulterior motives with those things. I accepted one of the 'free' vacations once. We had to look at real estate and our stay, food, activities etc... was free. It ended up working out nicely. Unfortunatly, I have heard a lot of nightmare stories. Just ask a lot of questions and see what the catch maybe :o)

DON'T GO!! I got suckered in, and it was ONLY if you purchase $1,000 worth the cook ware! Not sure if it was that same company, but in the words of my mother 'NOTHING in this world is free!'

Re: Hmmmm.....sounds fishy

ughhhh they call me allllll the timeeee. i changed my cell number and that stopped it but then i filled out something else at a nother show and they started again. you CAN get the trip..a girl on here did...BUT you have to sit through a thing where they try to sell you overpriced stuff and then if you say no you can still get the trip...but i dont know how stern of a person you are

SummerBride10 Posted: Jan 16, 2009 03:47 PM

Re: Hmmmm.....sounds fishy

Its a SCAM!! They called us too after we went to one of those bridal expos. If you search the company on either here or google, you'll find its not even worth your time.
