My husband, kids, and I went to a home show in Grand Rapids, Mi. On March 5 and we put our name/address/phone into many boxes to win prizes. One was name how much money was floating in a tube and if you guessed right or close you got to keep the money. I guessed $ 100.00.
On March 7 we got a call and we guessed the closest so we won $ 117.00 (which was the correct amount) and all we had to do was have someone come to our house and show us a presentation of their product. We scheduled for March 8 at 7:00 P.M. We also got our name in another drawing and were picked to win a 2 night / 3 day trip to a resort on the brochure.
After the two men showed up at 8:15 (better late then never) on MArch 8 they stayed and showed us their product which was the Rainbow vacuum and purifier and it was $ 1800.00. You have got to be kidding me! We decided it was too much and not to purchase it. The man kind of got angry but packed up and left. No $ 117.00
was ever mentioned and by that time it was 10:30 P.M.
The next day I called the J & M Distributor (on the caller id) to ask about my money I won. The man didn't know and told me that he would call the main office and call me back.
I called him back on March 10 and was told that someone else guessed exactly $ 117.00 and they made an error and we didn't win. I guessed we didn't win because we didn't purchase what they had to sell. An overpriced vacuum at $ 1800.00. Ridiculous!
I am sending this so everyone know that the Rainbow Vacuum and Purifier is a rip off and if you don't buy it they won't give you the prize money that is promised to you. Our first home show and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I will never go to one of those shows again. It's a rip off. They had no intentions of ever paying off.
They probably told everyone that they won $ 117.00 just to get you in there house. This is a scam so beware of anyone calling telling you that you won something at a home show.
