e-scammerce

I was looking up info on cameras, and came across this site, offering prices that were just too good to be true! And it turns out, they are too good to be true.

Did a web search for the company name along with “retailer reviews” (or “better business bureau”) and was then entertained by consumer horror stories about the company (this is a good one). In this case, their M.O. is to send an email saying you need to call to confirm your order; they then try to upsell you warranty, battery, charger that aren’t included with the camera because they’re “international versions” – and if you don’t order the upsell, surprise surprise, your camera is backordered, possibly indefinately. Not sure how they get away with this obviously criminal behavior.
