Box Monthly? Scam?

[Beautymomma]

I'm the blogger who wrote about box monthly. I also made a YouTube rant about it & wish I had made it sooner when I first realized it was such a scam. Box monthly commented when I first wrote the blog over two weeks ago but today I deleted & reposted it but her comment to my first blog was "any questions please write me I'll be happy to answer" & she left her email. I should have left up the first blog & just put a link but i didnt & now kinda regret it. What makes me mad is that I'm new to these sample boxes & almost fell for this box until I did more research & things looked so fishy. I just think the word need to be put out there although from what I've heard she plans to cancel it anyway. It's sad because the pics here are better then the ones on my blog but to recycle samples from other boxes is just wrong. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It also seems like it would be illegal if she is indeed recycling products from other beauty boxes. When our members trade things off with each other it's a trade and not for profit. It's just shady any way you cut it for her to resell things.

The person I mentioned in my blog wrote that she is thinking about contacting an attorney.

 

[zadidoll]

For what though?

 

[Beautymomma]

Idk exactly but her box was terrible definitely not something I'd be happy to receive in the mail. Maybe if she got an attorney involved they could shut this chick down? Idk but I have never seen a real company delete comments or block people if they weren't happy the way this Lori does. Not right to falsely advertise and then delete the truth so others can see.

*cant see

Yeah, having an opinion is sooooooo worthy of a lawsuit.

All of this is SO weird. Just reeks of Posh Pod. To me, at least. 

 

[nelliebelle1197]

Totally reeks of Posh Pod. And did you check the "interview" she posted on her "boxmonthly blog"? Weird, disjointed and poorly written interview with a Google + "guru"? This is just strange, just like Posh Pod.

I'm still waiting for mine to get here. It was supposed to get here last week but I thunderstorm prevented my box from getting mailed is what I was told...

 

[hrseangel]

Ohhhh boy...(LOL)

Mine is INROUTE and I have a tracking number.

I have never done a video but this may be worthy of one. I will at least take photos.

The $17 I paid is not a huge issue, I dont however like being scammed (if thats what it is....and it sort of reeks like it due to others experiences so far).

Im kindaof laughing at the whole thing, and Zadidoll you ROCK for digging up the dirt on this one.

I got an email yesterday saying mine was mailed. I replied that I wanted a tracking number. Did you get one? I would email her and ask for one.

I haven't received a tracking number. I will definitely be posting about the sub on my blog, like I do with everyone of my subs, although this might be the first one I might have something negative to say about..

I don't know how I missed the initials.  I have a couple of beauty balms that I love, but with BB is birchbox here more commonly, I just couldn't figure out how that fit in the context.

LOL... I should have realized that (I am a BB-birchbox girl and a BB-beauty balm girl) next time I will write it out. Sorry for the confusion.

What that blogger is reporting is that at one point in time Box Monthly had an award that claimed they were the best beauty box subscription company out there. Really?! How can something that just launched be the BEST?! After being called out on it was removed. The more I find out about this company the more it comes off as another Posh Pod. Between the owner claiming she's disabled and was in a wheelchair, to her mom being confused by the "mean" comments due to having Alzheimer's to her giving friends with cancer free products makes me think she's Gina/Silver incarnate (and she's not as far as I've been able to determine).

I did some digging around and the owner has a channel on youtube. Her name is Lori Peters, but her youtube name is myhairistalking/scriptright. I am not sure if it is against rules to post the link (?) but on her channel she says she is looking for investors in her websites (plural). She also claims she is working on starting a box for cats (nuttykitty) and all sorts of odd/off the wall stuff. Also...she says SHE is the one interviewing celebrities on some of the videos. Since none of them are bent over (as a standing person would be to talk to a lady in a wheelchair) I am not buying any of her claims. I am not a harsh person but to rip off and scam people out of their hard earned money, that will ALWAYS get me fired up. LOL

 

[zadidoll]

When people claim they're something they're not the truth will eventually come out.

 

[Missglammygirl]

This is all so sketchy!

 

[nelliebelle1197]

This one sounds even weirder than Posh Pod

So I was trying to find some of the interviews but I found one of her other websites it is called nuttykitty.com ......weird.........
