Did anyone hear about this?

I just received an email from the company that does a number of bridal shows I have participated in. I feel really bad for all parties involved and will remember to proceed with caution when things seem too good to be true.

the scary part is that it's not even like there would be anything THAT suspicious like a really low entry fee or something ($900 for a corner booth?) YOWZER!

WTH is wrong with people today. how do they sleep at night knowing they are ripping off innocent trusting people.
jeeze....throw the book at them. just pathetic!
this is also similiar to the story i just read about 'wiseguys' a few wacko's who were purchasing all the good seats for concerts and sporting events then selling them to scalpers who then marked the prices up again.
no wonder every time i try to get tickets for an event within 10 seconds of it going on sale it says sorry no tickets available.
seriously....WTH!!
