Babee Tenda Seminar Scam
Mood:  a-ok
I'm only posting this because I'm hoping it will be pop up when people search for the ridiculous Babee Tenda products. My friend Cate received a card to go to this "baby show." They claimed to cover "baby safety" and whatnot. We should have read the card more carefully and stuff, but we didn't. We were expecting something fun like a bridal expo with booths and free samples (they did say a $100 free gift afterall). So we dragged our husbands to Waltham, MA on a Saturday morning. We ended up sitting through a 2-hour live infomercial!

Although we had some good laughs, the whole thing was a marketing scam. If you get one of these baby show cards...DO NOT GO! They talked about safety and whatnot(which was actually good because now I feel like I should be looking at some products more closely) and pretty much tried to convince all of us that everything in Babies R Us and every other baby outlet is unsafe. Then he wanted us to buy this hillbilly crib and feeding table for the great deal of "$998." It was nuts. The crazy thing was that people actually got up and were excited to place their orders!! They were probably hired by Babee Tenda!

We tried to slip out but the guy was like "oh don't go yet, I'd like to talk to you." We ended up just leaving anyway and going out to lunch. I don't have any experience with this Baby Tenda crapola so it might be good stuff. I also don't have any experience with any baby stuff, so I can't say anything is bad or good! And that is how this fool tries to get you! I haven't done much research on safety stuff (although the husband has) and I'm more into making my baby look good!

I'm just into this stuff because I hate when people try to sell me stuff when I don't want to be sold stuff! We didn't get our "free gift bag" but according to multiple websites I found, it was all coupons and discounts (basically, crapola). It was a good time though because I'm sure we'll have many laughs about the Babee Tenda for years to come!

Name: Chuck

Thanks for the post about the Babee Tenda live infomercial. My wife told me about a "safety seminar" we received an invite for and I was skeptical, having seen what time-share salesmen will do (free breakfast seminars in Cancun). Sure enough, there are lots of websites listing personal experiences about the nightmare of attending one of these scam-fests.

Thanks for saving my Saturday.

Chuck
