We got this text message last night that really made our day. It's always really great when a customer feels exactly the way you wanted her to about your product:

"Hi thEre! Im hAzeL frn cAgayan de orO ciTy..I saW ur nMbr frM this cuTe sTuff my bRothR bought me! WeL, i jsT wnt 2 say thAt iM tOtaLLy inLuv w/ uR pRoDuct..i keEp oN sTaring aT it cOz iTs sO cuTe.. iTs jst a sMaLL thiNg buT it diD stOLe my hArt!.. =O KeEp iT up..iTs cOoL!!! c",) gOd bLeSs..=O"

Cell Phone Scam

Some horrible people have been sending text messages to different people's cell phones claiming that the cell phone holder has won some sort of raffle. This is totally fake. Don't fall for it. There is no such thing as a raffle that you are automatically/magically entered in. Contact information alone such as your cell phone number or email address cannot be used as a basis for raffles of any kind, especially without your consent. Here's a sample scam that we've been receiving this week:

"D'AUDITORS of GMA.CHARITY FOUNDATION nform u dat ur CELFON nos. WON P 950,000. 00 2nd prize winner,drw last. 05-25- 2007 PLS CALL ME NOW,IM,MRS LELIBETH SANCHEZ,"

Here are the cell phone numbers so far that have been sending this scam:

Reply: hey, tnx for th feedback! actually, we did lower the price to Php160 back in november of last year but found that we cldnt survive at that level wthout sacrificing quality. sadly, we had to put th price back to 200, but we've also been trying our best to add value to the price by including free gift bags, tags & stickers wth every purchase. we're not sure if that's enough though & we'd love to hear other suggestions =)
