Thread about the Bridgerton Ball SCAM in Detroit that I (and hundreds of others) spent $300 on

For starters, NEVER go to an event that’s being run by Uncle & Me LLC. Disorganized, dishonest, and will take your money guilt free

The event was originally planned for August. It was cancelled and rescheduled for September 22nd, and I ended up getting sick and couldn’t go. They did not provide refunds, nor did they respond to anyone’s email asking for one. At that point I knew I got scammed lol

The company lied saying the original venue wouldn’t accommodate their guests

These pics are from the channel 7 news story about it since I didn’t actually go (glad I didn’t!) People waited outside in the rain to get into an overcrowded first floor

Well into the event, there was nothing to do. People were bored and just sat on their phones

The “live music” advertised was this poor lone violin player 😭

Backdrops and decor on party city/dollar general level. They didn’t even pay the photographer and the pictures were a hassle to get if you didn’t have airdrop 😭

Food apparently ran out after an hour, and some was raw. No one was there to pick up plates, so you had to deal with strangers’ leftovers yourself

The “dancing” they had was ONE. STRIPPER.

Besides the lackluster event itself, they promised a cash prize to the best dressed (didn’t happen), that they’d choose a diamond of the season like they do in the show/other bridgerton inspired balls (didn’t happen), and had an itinerary with contradicting information

Really hope this ends in a lawsuit because I want my $300 back 🥲 I have medical bills to pay and that could’ve gone toward something that wasn’t….this LMAO

Before y’all call me gullible, I know I am. Still not my fault! Don’t scam people!

Plug for all my links, any support is super appreciated 🥲!!

This is the dress I bought (specifically for this event btw) I’m sad I didn’t get to wear it. So $500 down the drain plus the dress. I can hopefully wear it someday anyway and not have it collect dust in my closet

ALSO I got a lot of the info and pics from this video! I just gathered things from what I know and from others who actually got to go to the event
