OroGold cosmetics Georgian Mall, Barrie, Ontario Slippery sales tactics, not respecting No from customer, fraudulent actor claiming to be a doctor, stealing $8320.00 in return for two loaded bags of cosmetics. Barrie Ontario
After being lured into the store and with overly sweet sales tactics sales woman Heidi was so enamoured she was able go get me to pay $608.00 for wrinkle free creams she told me there was a world travelling Specialist doctor in the store who was in high demand. If he had a spare moment to see me would i take a moment and have appointment with him? i said sure, i have lots of brown spots on my face. when i shook hands with him i knew right away he was not a doctor and said so. He frowned, i said so again, then he told me i should be ashamed of myself for saying that and dircedted me to sit down. I complied even became apologetic.
My phone rang. he ordered put that phone away when i picked it up. I was in apredicament. Time wen by with lots of sales antics. He wanted my identifying information. He wanted to get into my bank account and credit card. I was able to get his name Nathon Shapiro, 32 yeaes old born on Nov.2nd. When i wanted to exit to use bathroom he did not move to let me past, this is when i realized i was being kept hostage. I asked for a glass of water. Finally he got what he wanted. Even though i didn't want to and knew it was wrong i had absolutely zero resistance to stop myself from signing $8320.00 bank loan payable 223.17 monthly for four years with two large bags filled with cosmetics i will never use. He then released me. In the store third male employee stood in entrance way again blocking me till he got the nod from Nathan it was OK and was instruted to take photo of me as a happy customer.
the Mall was silent with no people, all the stores were locked up. then Nathan acted very gentlemanly by walking me to my vehicle. Outside the parking lot was silent with no cars or people.
At home i journalled for days needing to know what happened when i came to believe i was drugged when i drank the water, therefore the zero resistance i felt. Gratefully i was able to talk it over with EAP I have with my work. I am now communicating with a Lawyer and need to have Justice.
I am thinking if it happened to me there is a really good chance other women have suffered the same or similair. Please join me in fighting this together. I had lodged a complaint with BBB to which OroGold did not respond. When the case was closed OroGold did call me wanting to make a deal, Howeve i have no trust and do not feel safe so i will not go back to the store. Please join me in seeking justice. We deserve to be Safe when walking through the Mall.
