Cancer wig scam

i was diagnosed with cancer and am going to lose my hair. i did three wig appointments. i got a nice real hair wig for $50 a EXTEMEMLY nice wig for $1425

i went to place the cancer center recommends it was a $200 consult which is fine the $1425 wig also needed the $200 consult fee. i was happy to pay for ppls time and expertise.

he slaps a HORRIBLE synthetic piece of crap on my me . if i didn’t already have two wigs in the car it would have been DEVISTATING to have this worse quality than american girl doll hair on. and it’s $700. i ask for the real human hair wigs not this piece of crap. he says those are $2000 but wig prices are like the stock market they fluctuate daily. im okay with that price and try on wigs. they suck. no highlights or dimension. i decide to leave. i pay the $200 for the consult. the next day he calls and asks if i want the wig but the price has gone up to $3500. from $2000 to $3500 in a day bc human hair prices change daily. and this is the place the cancer hospital prints out and tells you to go.

i can’t express the difference in quality too that the $1400 wig is so much better.

he’s usually con artist scam techniques on cancer patients. isnt this like increasing water bottle prices before a hurricane
