David's Bridal sells your personal information

I recently recieved a phone call from an outside vendor of David's Bridal. The lady told me I had one a free vacation. I don't EVER sign up for any of these fake things so I sat there and wondered how in the world they got my information. The only thing I could think of was that I had seen an advertisement for DB online about a free wedding dress drawing. So I signed up to have my name put in it. Two weeks later is when I recieved this phone call. The lady said I had one a three day two night stay in a variety of locations all over the US and in the Bahamas. She gave me a confirmation number and said I had to attend this presentation where they would urge you to buy things there but you were not required to do so to get your vacation package. You only had to sit through the presentation. So I was like ok there's not harm in sitting through it and checking into the situation. So my fiance and I went. It was a 90 minute presentation and I'll admit the guy named Tommy was very good at his job. He was Asian I think and the other guy was black. They were very friendly as we sat through the presentation where they were trying to sell dishes and cookware through Royal Prestige or American Prestige. These dishes were thousands of dollars. Again they were very friendly during the presentation but when it was done and you sat down to talk to them about the vacation package and you turned down the dishes they were very rude and pushy. They gave us the package but were very rude and tried forcing us to buy dishes. They told us that we were unable to buy these dishes at this price after that night, that we MUST get them right then. We left without the dishes. We are going to ask a travel agent about the trip because we still think it is fake. It's not worth the hassle of even taking that trip. When we got back to our hotel room that night we researched these people and found nothing but bad information about them. They rip people off and the trip supposedly is a fake or is a terrible experience. Also we realized that the only people who were at this presentation were young people. Why? Probably because they assume young people won't research this and will be naive and just buy things because they make it look easy to use. Also, the people who got the phone calls about this free trip were the women. Why? Probably because they think it is the women who jump and say "come on babe, why not?" It's free! No it's a ridiculous scam. So don't sign up for anything through DB because they sell your information and take advantage of people. Go to Google and type in Royal Prestige Scam or Ripoff..you'll see all kinds of reports about it. And it all starts with David's Bridal! Most of these people who did order these dishes never saw them or ended up paying way more in interest then what they were told they would be paying..so don't be naive ladies! If you do go to a presentation after reading this just make sure you go and show them up and ruin the presentation by telling everyone that it is a scam! Hope this helps some people!
