I thought I bought a Nikon D7000 off the website after doing some research and finding this as the best deal. Placed my order with credit card. I called the next day since I had not received any confirmation, and the person on the phone said he was glad I phoned as they needed to verify something... Apparently in THEIR world, the D7000 does not come with a battery or charger in the box, like everywhere else. These 'accessories' had to be purchased to the tune of $300. Oh and the camera body I apparently bought was polycarbonate, in order to get the upgraded magnesium body the price went another $250 higher. Supposedly the "Japanese model" is polycarbonate, they said;however this is not described anywhere on the planet. Get with the program guys, sell at your advertised price or get out of the game. Classic bait and switch; the final deal offered was nowhere near as good as could be obtained at Amazon.com, even after the 'supervisor' was consulted.

Typical Scam

If the website Contact info only shows an email address that's a big red flag. Legitimate businesses have a real physical address and they aren't embarassed to list it. The domain registration is private as well. This effectively cloaks the owners name and address. Legitimate businesses don't resort to this.

Scammers always wish to remain hidden..................
