My wife surfed the web for furniture stores locally, stumbled across Directbuy. She called them, made an appointment to see their showroom.
They asked if she had children, she said yes, they told her she would need to find a babysitter because the children would not be allowed to come. She thought this was strange...
Then they asked her if she was married, she said yes. They said i had to accompany her on the visit. She explained that i despise shopping, and she would be coming alone. They insisted she bring me. She blew up at this point, telling the phone rep "I'M AN ADULT WOMAN, I DON'T NEED TO BRING ANYONE WITH ME TO BUY SOMETHING. I'll buy whatever i want whenever i want, and you won't tell me who has to come hold my hand!"
it went downhill from there. I researched directbuy on the web thereafter, discovering it was a monster scam.
I kind of wish we'd have gone to the open house, nothing enrages me like a surprise $6000 initiation fee.
