Free trade shows still attract many people, mainly older people. they call and invite to an event where the dishes will be presented at promotional prices.

Pot show in Poznań. Only seniors were there
Four people from Poznań, aged 35-40, decided to accept the invitation to a free show. Their story was published by epoznan.pl on its Facebook profile. One of the men was called by a woman who invited him to a meeting with . She assured that there was no need to buy anything and that all attractions were free. Upon arrival, each couple was to receive a gift, and for each additional couple invited, they were to receive a drip coffee machine as a reward. The person who answered the phone agreed to take part in the show out of curiosity. She received a text message with an invitation and a photo of the coffee machine she was supposed to receive. After arriving at the venue, it turned out that there were many different household appliances, mattresses and duvets in the room, and most of the participants were 65+.
Pot fraud. They asked them to leave the show because they were too young?
After entering the invitation code, four people were invited to the next room, which was empty and dark. Most likely, the event organizers realized that the invited people were not seniors and could not be easily persuaded to buy the products.
Then we realized that they wanted to get rid of us as quickly as possible. A gentleman approached us and gave us olive oil and a set of 3 small knives. He said we were lucky because we got a gift and we could leave now. I asked if this was encouraging and the whole show was crap, but all I heard was an indignant reply that if I didn’t like the gift, I should return it and go home.
– reports the local portal. The next day, the man called the woman from whom he received the invitation. She informed him that she would pass the matter on to the management. For over a month, no one responded with feedback.
I’m curious how the show for the elderly who stayed there ended and whether we were asked to leave because we might have asked uncomfortable questions? Or maybe we could make others aware not to sign anything? We won’t find out.
– the invited man wondered.
