They call and tell you what you bought was a grey market version and it doesn't come with any of the accessories (battery, cable, software, etc.) and if you don't pay a ridiculous price for that, (or a couple hundred dollars for a 4gb memory card) then they'll suddenly be "out of stock" and cancel your order.

LOL, I have seen this, they dont send the battery or the charger and some other essential items, then they trick you into buying something you didnt even want.
Be VERY skeptical, google them!

Seriously, do you even have to ask when the price is that ridiculous?

The fact that they bundle the 18-55mm EF-S lens with a FF camera is enough of a red flag for me :lol:
