I wonder if this person understands that if something happens to Dior as a result of this publication of personal info, she can be held legally liable? There is a legal relationship between a consumer and a business to which you share personal information such as credit card, email and address. By publishing her information, this woman has put Dior at risk for identity theft, harassment and who knows what (her name, address, and email being out there like that puts her Paypal account at risk right off the bat; plus "Patty" disclosed that Dior has a Paypal account!).  The reason legitimate companies as opposed to scams like this safeguard information is because they have a legal and ethical obligation to do so.

Of course, this person doesn't seemed terribly well-schooled in the law, business or ethics....

You just reviewed and your review was your personal opinion, what she did on sharing your info is a horrible thing, I've worked for big companies and one thing they care about a lot is taking care of their customer's personal info, and she just published it online! that's just soooo horrible and scary!

Well, I finally saw a fb post that was somewhat critical of RCB:

" I just got mine and I have to say that this will be the last time I will order one of these. The Elizabeth Arden stuff is a left over free gift with purchase from summer. The jewelery is really cheap, and the other items are nothing to get excited about. From the other pictures posted on this site they look pretty good but this wasn't one of them."

I wonder how long they intend on leaving this up for all to see...

Oh gosh...I was wondering when this thread would pop its nasty head back up! I saw that Elizabeth Arden stuff too... It definitely looked like leftovers. Blegh...

I had to go take a peek at their facebook.. wow!  Do you guys notice how the Red Carpet Box moderator and this Sheila Yvette person are having a little public love affair over the company?  I notice that she's the only one who posts anything positive.  Her sappy little review of the products that the moderator posted was just too much.. it's dripping with saccharine nonsense and reads like a fake paid review.  Anything to help your friends, I guess, but this lady is certainly going overboard.  If she scaled it back a few million notches, then she'd sound more real.

I'm also totally put off by the moderator's lengthy comments to everything on the page.  Just like the comments she's posted on people's blogs, it looks unprofessional (amateurish, even) and makes me wonder if the majority of her time is focused on her image (and certainly not well) instead the actual company itself.

The whole thing is just all sorts of yuckiness...The lengthy posts are annoying, the love of the products dripping with fakeness....All of the stuff that has happened in the past keeps building up. It just annoys me so much. I hope she either gets shut down soon or people stop buying the crap she's pawning. I guess enough people like that sort of stuff or maybe they are just interested in winning free crap.. Lol idk.. The whole thing is just so ridiculous.

I see that RCB removed people from posting on their wall and you can only - for now - reply to something they post. I wonder why. LOL

 

[parisnicole1989]

Ahhhhhh this whole thing is just sooooo upsetting! Like it makes me want to punch a red carpet box...eughhhhh

You know a simple answer to the dissatisfied customer above." we're sorry you are unstaisfied please contact us so we may better serve you." or anything along the lines of that would have sufficed. Instead they go on and on and on about the 'validity' of the products. Hello?! She knows what it is and she hates it! Don't waste time trying to make leftovers sound like luxury! Jeez.....

Exactly! She knows it's crap or else she wouldn't spend sooooooo much time trying to defend it!! It's like seriously..how many paragraphs do we need of you defending it??

 

[zadidoll]

Lots as evident from past complaints to her and replies from her. lol

I think they've had it set that way for a while, around the time they deleted some of the more critical posts. I always found it weird that she was copying and pasting the positive reviews through her own profile, rather than letting them be posted directly. I also really don't like the method she's using (although many companies do it, I don't like it in general) to gain likes and make her company seem more popular when it's really just for the sake of winning free stuff.

Just read the new, edited, rcb response to the customer who got hoodwinked. She is now offering to make it right, but her original reply was just a defensive post that shot down the customer's concerns, with no offer to fix anything. My guess is that patti gave initial response and jenn came in to do damage control. Sheila really needs to tone down her replies- it is way too obvious what her intentions are. I sometimes disagree with customers about whether or not I may like a certain product. I would never take their opinions so personally though, if I wasn't somehow affiliated with the co. they were critical of.

 

[parisnicole1989]

Lol clearly! I was just rereading your post about her and her kids. How do you not know how many kids you have?!? Yes, 7 is a lot, but I'm pretty sure I would know...

ha! this is reminding me of home alone. they also had so many kids that they always left one at home, or the airport, or wherever, lol

 

[nelliebelle1197]

Zadi, I can't see the whole screenshot. Is Patti really promoting a Target "jewelry" set?!?!

 

[zadidoll]

This is what she wrote.

[redacted]--We are sorry you do not personally see the value and yes, the Elizabeth Arden bag is a value bag that was a gift with purchase. It was not cheap, even with wholesale. The jewelry came from alltherageonline.com and they are a company that sells high value jewelry (not gold, or silver, but trendy jewelry sold on very popular and trendy websites). We as a company have never seen a full palette of makeup in any bags ever and the other items are also of high value. Almost ALL of the items are full sized, all others were bonuses. Although the tote may have been a gift with purchase at one time, we as a company still had to purchase the Elizabeth Arden totes and it was generously sold to us at a great rate we could supply our clients. The other jewelry set came from Target. It's not Belk or Dillard's type jewelr, but some people do enjoy Target and alltherageonline as well as Elizabeth Arden. We still stand by our product. It's a great deal for 39.99 and we tried very, very hard to put together something really special. It is something that I would and personally do use. If you would like to return the items to us, just please contact us and we will even help you arrange the shipment back by providing information. I will do anything I can personally to assist you. We understand this isn't for everyone.

So is she promoting Target jewelry? Not really. She probably found a bunch of stuff on clearance and bought it or bought it through EBay. I very much doubt Target is working with her to promote the jewelry they sell. If they're not working with her then she's distributing their products without permission.

 

[bluelion]

I think the Target items are just thrown in and agree with Zadi that they're probably from their clearance or ebay. I just realized she lists the items in the box quite excessively.

 

[nelliebelle1197]

I wonder if she is really working with Jane? Honestly didn't know Jane was still around!

Hahaha! I guess it is possible to forget how many kids you have! At least in the movies...

Little tangent here--Jane relaunched over the summer in July, but I believe they only sell their stuff right now online and not at any retail stores yet. I have to say I'm not a fan of the new products they have. Jane was one of my "intro to makeup" lines as a teen back in the 90s and they always had nice, affordable stuff, and theirs was the only tinted moisturizer that ever worked really well for me. They have one in their new line, but not the color I used to get, so I'm on the fence about giving it a try. They also had a couple of lipsticks that I remember fondly and miss! The only thing current that I tried was their gloss that I received from an Ipsy bag. For me, it was nothing to write home about. I miss the old Jane. I wanted to like the relaunched line, but nothing about it stands out to me.
