HUHarassment and scam Harassment and scam! I am sick and tired by being harassed on Vaci utca by this fake shop's employees.Whenever you walk on the street sellers are catcalling women and harassing them. I have been living in Budapest for a long time and no matter how many times you complain the store does not change its attitude, instead, they preferred to block leave review part on social media to shut people up.

HU20 thousand HUF only today...for a 'mug… 20 thousand HUF only today...for a 'mug size' no more than 350g. cream, and set of three items as a present. All this at Westend a pricy shopping center. It is at a small isle in the middle of a hallway. The lady was impatent to chat. She's wanted to get over it all too quickly, while I was telling her I was in Israel, I know this type of product, and I don't want to buy. I've tried however...for a present, ect. She didn't seem to know how anyone's hands react to being rubbed, and the water becoming coloured light brownish gray-. Her monologue was someone's been taught to say thus and that and that's it; no science, or thought or reason behind. It's not bad, it's a standard of a company, or result of daily frustrations. I'd have loved to begin a conversation, like: isn't my hand white simply because I've just squeezed the bkood out? Anyway, the salt that I was given to rub my hand was really cool. Cristals in a cilindrical wooden spoon.

HUSCAM ALERT: Avoid SEACRET on Vaci Street! My 17-year old sisters creditcard were secretly charged multiple times for a single purchase at Seacret. I have several times approached the staff at the Seacret shop, who refuses to cancel the false creditcard transaction or issue a refund. They insist, that a mistake must have been made by my sisters bank. According to my sisters bank Nordea, the transactions looks fraudulent. Seacret have tried to charge the same amount not only two but three times. They have tried to charge 60.000 HUF or 192 EUR total, which is a lot of money for a 17-year old. The third attempt was rejected, but my sister was still charged twice for the same products. Before shopping here make sure to read the many negative reviews on Google Maps, TrustPilot or ConsumerAffairs. From my sisters experience and other online reviews, it is clear that Seacret uses lies and manipulative selling strategies to trick people into buying their products. The salesperson told my sister, that because the boss was not around, she could offer her a very special price. According to the salesperson this was a special offer, which she could only give to one customer per month. My sister was given the impression, that she would save a lot of money - about 50% compared to the standard price. She ended up paying 20.000 HUF, which turns out is exactly the standard price (found on the Seacret website). My sister was also falsely informed, that she could bring the products (which are liquid and more than 100 ml) through the carry-on security in Budapest airport. According to other online reviews, Seacrest have received many other complains about false carry-on advices, but continue to give out wrong information. It seems like these people will say anything to secure a sale. We are now reporting Seacret in Budapest to the local tourist police for creditcard fraud and unethical marketing techniques. Stay away from Seacret and double check your creditcard bills!
