StylusDeals.com MORE4LESSDIGITALCO Pricing Fraud Internet

I found a camera on the site, stylusdeals.com, at a much lower price than other sites, no shipping and no tax. The site said it was located in Raleigh NC. The sale confirmation email from the site did not include the price -- that should have been my first clue. I got an urgent email and phone call that I should contact them, and I spoke with "Ben" there who said the item was on back order til the next day (okay, second clue) and he wanted to know if I wanted the battery too.

Ok. There it was -- the reason the camera was so much cheaper. It would cost $39.99, and though I groused about their technique, I added it to the order. I received the order with other "freebies" and an invoice for about $20 higher than I was supposed to be paying.

When I called (the VM message was clearly recorded by a NYer but I was dialing a NC number), I was connect to the same guy I had talked with before (he confirmed), but that day he was using the name "Jerry." Jerry explained that the "package" deal included insurance and handling charges. And all items in the package were listed as $0 individually. I asked where they were located and he said FL. I asked for the address and he refused to provide it. 

Clearly these are slick fraudsters who run multiple sites and know the ins and outs of transactional rules and laws. My credit card transaction went to MORE4LESDIGITALCOM, which says it's based in New York City.
