The business practices of Evengo, previously known as Celebrate Just Right, raise significant concerns that suggest it operates in a manner that can be described as a scam or a con. Here's how the situation unfolded, which demonstrates these fraudulent characteristics:

Misrepresentation of Service Availability: My personal experience, along with reports from other customers, indicates that Evengo advertises services that are not actually available. In my case, I booked a dwarf entertainer in Liverpool, a service prominently featured on their website. However, after taking the deposit, they informed me that they do not have any dwarf entertainers available in Liverpool. This bait-and-switch tactic is a classic sign of a scam, where services are advertised to lure customers in, only to reveal later that these services cannot be provided.

Non-Refundable Deposits for Non-Existent Services: The core of the scam lies in the company's handling of deposits. Customers are required to pay a deposit at the time of booking, based on the assumption that the advertised service is available. However, once Evengo reveals the unavailability of the service, they do not refund the deposit. This practice indicates a deliberate strategy to earn money through false advertising.
Automated Phone System and Poor Customer Service: The inability to directly speak with a representative further adds to the problem. When customers try to resolve issues or seek refunds, they are met with an automated phone system, making it nearly impossible to have a meaningful interaction or dispute the service.

Dubious Business Practices and Reputation: The information about the company's operational practices, such as the alleged low pay for staff and the owner's strategy of accepting deposits for bookings that are unlikely to materialize, paint a picture of a business model that is not customer-centric but rather focused on generating income through dubious means.
Negative Reviews and Company Rebranding: The overwhelming number of negative reviews under their former name, Celebrate Just Right, and the decision to rebrand to Evengo, suggest an attempt to distance the new brand from the negative reputation of the old one. However, the continuation of similar practices under the new name indicates that the rebranding is superficial and does not address the underlying unethical business practices.

In summary, the combination of false advertising, non-refundable deposits for services that are never provided, inaccessible customer service, and a pattern of negative customer experiences strongly indicates that Evengo operates as a scam website, exploiting customers for financial gain without delivering the promised services.
