Philly Expo Center Fake Merchandise, False Advertising, Sold out Phone number for so called "Door Prize" Oaks, Pennsylvania
I heard an add about the Philly Expo Center on the radio saying that they were selling brand named Electronics at discount prices. Checked their website and it looked pretty legit, photos, list of what would be there etc.
NOTE: Entrance fee was $9 Dollars non-refundable. There was no way to preview before paying the entrance fee.
1) I went in and was offered to sign up for a door prize, before any merchandise was visible, so I did.
--This is where the first Rip-Off Alert is-- They SOLD my phone number to telemarketers. I am on the Do Not Call list but that apparently doesn't matter. I had no issues prior and this was the only time I wrote my phone number anywhere.
2) Once I got in, to my amazement, very little of the advertised items were there in the first place. The ONLY brand name merchandise they had were laptops, which were Pre-Owned, neither the add nor the website said anything about Pre-Owned.
The rest of the merchandise was cheap knock-off electronics that no one ever heard of.
I've been SCAMMED by giving these people my money on the entrance fee to falsely advertised merchandise AND lied to about the door price and having harassing Telemarketing calls daily.
Ripped off!
