Experienced same "M.O." as previous reports. Lowest price advertised on-line for GPS (Garmin 760)unit indicated as "usually shipped in 2-3 business days". Received phone call fraudulently claiming and recommending extra memory needed to speed-up re-routing feature for an extra $79. I refused indicating that this would be a replacement for a stolen unit and I was satisfied with standard Garmin 760 GPS unit performance. Person then stated that unit would ship in 5-10 business days.
Next day, however, received same e-mail as reported by Cindy (in Waterloo) indicating a "negative inventory" and that backorder would take 2-3 weeks. Days later, same price still persists with the same shipping (indicating a positive inventory). Company also offers "packages" of same unit with accessories, indicating that unit only low price is just used as bait and positive inventories do exist when bundled as "packages". Company never seems to have any intention to sell GPS alone for price as advertised within a reasonable time period if in stock.
