I was looking for a particular camera around Christmas and found it on Amazon.com. When I chose the camera (Canon Powershot SD890 IS Digital Elph), I was shown other vendors and their prices. This one caught my eye as it was cheaper. I assumed since it was on Amazon it was lagit. Big lesson learned there! I was told the camera would be 186.00 when I made the purchase online. The shipping was free.

Later the following day I received a call from a man stating he was confirming my order. He then told me that I would have to purchase a battery and SD card for the camera. I asked why it doesn't come with it like anywhere else and he didn't have an answer. Then he gave me a pitch of why I needed this outrageously expensive battery or my camera wouldn't work properly. Ultimately, this camera cost me 314.50! That is more than I would have paid at the store. I was not given a total when the man abruptly hung up.

I received my camera and accessories in the mail a few days later and was charged for the purchase. This is a total bait and switch company. When I contacted them they ignored me. I have sent them email and when I call they say I must speak with a manager and they aren't avaialable.

I have paid more for this camera than it is worth! I am not even certain it is new. The pictures are not the quality I would expect from this camera.

Ordered a Toshiba LCD TV (40XF550U). Placed order online then was contacted to confirm my shipping address for the order and was told the stand didn't come with the TV and it would be another 100.00. Made many calls after that to confirm shippment of the TV but was told nurmous times tomorrow I'm ready to cancel my order and call my bank to cancel the charge on my account. Don't purchase ANYTHING from these idoits.

Time tracking my order and was subjected to the bait and switch on this purchase
