No address. If they are out of Brooklyn, NY....RUN

These guys take a camera, advertise a great deal but then try to sell you everything separately that normally comes with the camera at GREATLY exaggerated prices. After you order they say you have to call to confirm your order. Once on the phone, you get the hard sell. If you don't go for it, they tell you what you ordered is on backorder...that's if they don't just hang up on you.

If it sounds too good to be true....

Your right, fumfie.com tried to do the same thing to me when I went to buy the canon 50D. they are located in Brooklyn, NY. They are not a canon authorized dealer. They tell you that there is no one year warranty and that you have to buy one from them. then they tell you that the battery only last 20 minutes and you should buy a really good one from them. Even though they have a good rating on www.resellerratings.co​m (external link), they are all scams. I ended up buying my canon 50D from ephotocraft.com

Warning: Avoid RogersCamera aka Rogers Camera - Bait and Switch

New bait and switch websites are popping up on Google Adwords daily. One is RogersCamera. They are offering the Canon XH-A1 for $1,249. The suggested retail is $3,999. No, Rogerscamera.com will not, ever, sell you the camera for that price. They are a scam company run by criminals.



You need to avoid Rogerscamera at all cost. Do not waste your time talking to them and do not give them your credit card information. Their URL was created in February, and they have no physical address on their website. Their fax number is listed as 866-000-0000. Here’s a discussion on Fredmiranda.com. They are brand new, so there isn’t much information yet, but please be assured that they are a scam. If you have any dealings with them please post a comment below, with any contact information that you receive, such as an address or alternative phone numbers. I will then forward it to the NY State Attorney General’s office as well as the FTC.



While you should never purchase from these guys, please remember to ALWAYS click on their sponsored links. They get charged each time by Google. Something tells me this will drive them nuts.

If it is too good to be true ... then watchout. Accessory prices are out of this world! They might high pressure you to buy accessories, if not, items may not be in stock. Buyer beware.

Don't bother with the NYAG. They and the various NYC consumer protection, DA, police, etc. will not do a thing to these people. They have too much political power.
