Just to underline what a scam that kiosk lady was trying to pull on me, I will share with you lucky readers an unbeatable deal. She wished to sell me the Dead Sea salt scrub and body butter, 2 sets for “the price of one” — $149. Now, that alone was a lie because their own website sells that set for $75.
But it gets better! I found them on Amazon.com!!

Premier Dead Sea Aromatic Body Butter- Milk and Honey Scent — $8.72

And as a bonus, here’s one she was willing to part with at the rock bottom price of $35:
Premier Dead Sea Para-Pharmaceutical Exfoliating Facial Gel, Brown, 4.4-Fluid Ounce — $12.12
Product Features
- This is a high performance cleansing gel for skin exfoliation

I’m sorely tempted to order these, take them with me to that kiosk, pull them out of my purse while she’s trying to make a sale, and give her mark a little PSA… 😀

19 Mar 2012Ha! This is the same company my friend does work for – they are a piece of work!
He says actual cost on this stuff is like 3 or 4 dollars, so they are making a killing even at Amazon prices. Especially when they hook in unsuspecting women who end up getting home and realizing (only after the fact) that the “deal” they got just cost them $750.00. Then they get their husband to try to return the merchandise only to be told that “all sales are final”, and when they complain to the better business bureau, they are told that the kiosk vendors are a totally separate company from the manufacturer/distributor, and there is no way to legally assign responsibility for the deceptive actions of the kiosk vendor, and after a while, when the “company” which represents the kiosk vendor has amassed a sufficient number of complaints, they just “go out of business” and restart a “new” company which does exactly the same things.

19 Mar 2012Maybe this is a dumb question, but has your friend ever explained why they keep working for such a creepy bunch?

20 Mar 2012I have been pounced by those Dead Sea people at a mall also. I got away pretty easily after having my fingernails buffed to a beautiful shine by one of their products. They are so aggressive!

20 Mar 2012Indeed they are… it’s a shock to the system when you’re not used to going to malls! But, forewarned is forearmed. I’m now prepared to deal with them in sign-language next time: http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/10/31/57f0edca-edd2-4465-a751-92ad67cbc3d6.jpg
