Black Pearl Cosmetics Scam Ayala Center Cebu

Unverified

Summary

I was scammed through deceptive sales practices.

How It Starts

Their staff will approach you and offer free scrub which they claimed will be very quick 5 min and won't take much of your time.

What They Ask

They will pressure you to buy their products in an enclosed room and if you don't have the money then they will pressure you to take loans.

Red Flags

They will say that you're luck because their owner is visiting and will give you huge discounts and freebies. But you have to buy within the day because they claimed their owner will leave tomorrow and won't be coming back.

What to Do Now

Do not use their products or services, request refund immediately and site Consumer Act for deceptive sales practices. If they won't provide refund, then file a formal complaint to DTI https://consumercare.dti.gov.ph
