I went to this place about 4 years ago and I actually feel very fortunate because they only scammed me out of about $300. I sat through the presentation which was a mistake and I really felt like walking out in the middle of the video. I did stay and the group was able to walk around and look through showroom. The savings seem so incredible that you might feel like a fool by not signing up. I was pressured by the owner even though I expressed to him that I was only looking to furnish an apartment. He knew full well that a person only looking to furnish an apartment would not benefit in any way by joining DB. Most people will tell you that you'd have to by $25,000 worth of stuff just to break even on your membership.
Here is how I got lucky: I was sitting down signing the papers (like a fool) when I got a call from a really good friend of mine. She knew I was at direct buy and she was on her computer reading all the reviews. I had already given them the $300 but I hadn't finished filling out the paper work. After I got off the phone with her, I knew I was about to make a really expensive mistake. I wisely altered my social security number and left. I tried to get the $300 back but that wasn't ever going to happen. They had a collection agency call me about 6 months later about the payments that I had never made and I just laughed at them and hung up. Good luck trying to collect that with the wrong social security #. They stopped calling and my credit report is clean!
