So I get home from work today and see two missed calls. One of them says "Royal Presti" so I'm a bit curious as to who that is, considering my name is on the do not call list.

So they called back this evening, and it turns out to be Royal Prestige, which is a company that sells things through local sellers. Since a friend of mine does this for Pure Romance, I think this is a fine way to sell things. So they put forth the offer of a Trip, a free engagement photo session (at a local photographer whose name I recognized), and gift certificates for their own products.

So I'm naturally skeptical, but since Shannon put me on the phone, and when it comes down to it I say sure, we'll go.

As soon as I hang up, I pull up my good ole pal Google, and in short order the magic of the internet tells me, beyond my normal skeptical nature, that not only do they prey on engaged (mostly younger) couples, but they aren't really responsive to complaints either. So being that I felt that it seems a bit scammish, we're not going...and we're not calling them back to tell 'em so either.

Also, Shannon got a call from a Mary Kay rep, and even though Mary Kay is a reputable company, the "you win something" is kinda scammish to try to make a new customer.

Oh well...
