|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Brooklyn camera scams... Alex Menendez, Photographer Orlando | FL | USA | Posted: 7:24 PM on 01.19.09 ->> Found this online about some of the scamming camera stores in Brooklyn. Nothing too surprising, just thought I'd pass it along. http://blogs.computerworld.com/camera_scams  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm doubtful. I think the feds are going to have to shut them down. (Since the products are transported over state lines...) The other possibilities are every state AG going after them...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I ordered a lens from one of these guys years back. After a little more research I noticed that it wasnt the same lens as advertised. I called to cancel, which was easy. Until I found out that they still charged me. Thanks to my credit card company I got out of it. Not to mention that all of the major photo mags run their advertisements all the time, even when they may have articles speaking out against them! what a sham.....stick to roberts, adorama, b&h etc. Its about time they felt some pressure...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
