You may have read in other threads about ripoff camera web sites, ones that advertise gear and unbelievably low prices; then there's always a catch. They say the charger isn't included (when it's included as standard) then try to charge you $300 for it -- or they try to add on things like Compact Flash cards way overpriced or they charge you $250 for shipping, etc. If some company is crooked like this, you can always find out about it at resellerratings.com. I was just over there, and I found a review by someone who F'ed with one of the scam sites. Here's that review:

DON'T TRUST AT ANY COST
I recently heard of these scam artists on youtube and other store review sites. I decided to conduct a little experiment. I placed an order for a Nikon camera. I had no intention of actually ordering this item. I provided my cell phone number and a made up billing address. When the screen came on to submit my credit card information, i just left it blank and just in case changed the card type to a brand that wasn't mine. GUESS WHAT! Even though I didn't give any card information THEY PROCESSED THE ORDER ANYWAY. I received a confirmation number and everything. I'm expecting a call from them in the coming days. I plan to play games with this company to the bitter end. Don't worry I will be as rude as possible to the jerks that run this business.
I will keep you updated on the status of my "order" I plan to record the phone calls and use them as evidence for a law suit.
UPDATE
After heavy research I believe that this site and and all of the other related sites are owened and operated by members of the Italian mafia or organized crime. I believe this because several people have reported fraud charges on there credit card, all of these charges have to do with flights in or out of Italy. Others have reported consumer goods purchased from companies operating out of Italy. I will continue to conduct my experiment on this company to use as evidence in a law suit

ROFLMAO-WMP! I thought others would get a laugh out of this too.
Edit: I tried to pull up the web site that had gotten the massive complaints, including the one above. No longer works. They're out of business. Sweet justice!
