Suzanne of Clarksville, TN May 28, 2009 Just wanted to let everyone know that Tuesday night's "dinner show ticket" @ "Chef's" in Clarksville, Tennessee was a huge sales pitch/scam to buy not only a 23 pc. set off cookware (costing 3,000.00)but for several other products and a huge pitch to get us to sell it for them too! He even suggested you use your children to pass out the scam tickets! The "dinner show" was in his basement and was horribly decorated in a Hawaiian theme. There were several "games" in which you won fake money (in order to put down payment on cookware) or a prize (which is a cheap looking knife). He also said that he wanted no talking with the other couples during his presentation unless he said we could. He used his event to quote scripture which isn't a bad thing...it was just "creepy" coming from him and at a dinner show. I must say the food was excellent but the atmosphere was "creepy"! We had salad,cabbage,carrots,corn on the cob and chicken. He said he usually did a pineapple upside down cake but his wife wasn't helping him this night so he was cutting the presentation "short"(it lasted over 2 hours as it was!)Then comes the "BIG" sales pitches and only after about 45 min. does he tell you the price of the cookware. He then offers you extra prizes to go with the cookware and shows other products his company sells. They offer monthly payments and also say you can return it if not completely satisfied. Needless to say I was tempted but also knew 3,000.00 was insane! As it turns out we did get a form to fill out for a 3 day/2night vacation "voucher" with different selections on places to go (it can't be somewhere near here within 100miles of us and for most of them you would have to fly.) You have to send a 5.00 processing fee and they tell you that when you make a reservation at the hotel there is a 50.00 "returnable" deposit. I decided to Google the company and it brought up the Consumer Affairs Site and "wow"! Was there ever a lot of negative/horror stories to read! You can check it out at consumer affairs.com by clicking the link at the end of the letter I copied below. It seems the biggest problems were with people who tried to cancel their orders or people trying to return the cookware.Seems there is only a 3 day cancellation policy that they were not told about! Read them for yourself if you like. Please warn all your firends no matter where they live (see all the different cities listed at consumer affairs site) to stay away from this type of event! Lucky for us we didn't buy the cookware!These tickets are very misleading and never mention the Carico name or that they are selling it. We were made to feel very uncomfortable and it is my wish that this will keep others from the same fate! Estefany of union, NJ May 12, 2009 Carico is a good company but is mostly about the effort the attitude and the time that you put to this job. You have to be a positive person with lots of courage because there are some people out there that will spit in your face. Without thinking that you are just working like a normal person in a regular job.There is too many rude people that us workers at carico deal with i love meeting new people that is the only reason why i work for carico but still people relaxxxx IS NOT LIKE CARICO KILLED YOUR MOTHER. Personally i love the company i am a student and work part-time only but never make it in the program because i am very into school.It can be a very hectic life you cant deal with a family and Carico at the same time.
