Registry scam?

Allison, on June 13, 2022 at 12:48 PM Posted in Registry 0 5

For the past month, I have been getting text messages from a random number saying that my registry was entered into some kind of drawing and that I won a package. I went to a bridal expo in February, so it’s possible it’s from that. But they never say the company name or that they drew my name at the expo. Has this happened to anyone?? They keep telling me to text back the word “bride” but I don’t want it to charge my cell phone plan. And if it’s a real person texting me, why would I even need to respond back with the word “bride” and not a normal conversation? I can’t find any information or company when I search up the phone number. Has this happened to anyone?

    I've gotten similar texts in the past, which is funny because I don't have a registry, so not quite sure how my registry "won", lol. 😂 It's likely that they had gotten your contact information from the bridal expo. I'm not sure if it's a scam or if if they actually give you something, but I ignored the texts that I received.

    I’ve seen lots of posts on here describing this same thing. Consensus has usually been that it’s a scam

    I typically google the phone number and most times it comes up as a scam.

    I get them all the time. Emails too. I got a text the other day that said they met me at the bridal expo...I never even went to an expo. I always end up blocking the number or email.

    Yes I have been getting calls and emails this last did say that they were from the bridal expo that I attended in January. And its was supposed to be for a all inclusive paid honeymoon to the Sandals resort and only had too pay $100. And we both had to come and show ID and sign something. Neither one of us could go. I'm recovering from a injury and Fh was out of state. But some of the emails are getting annoying
