Gray Market scammers

Buyers beware Do not do business with Best Price Cameras Placed an order over the phone on Friday (9-22-06). I could not believe what a good deal I'll be getting. I was waiting for an e-mail confirmation to make sure I will be getting the same deal that the salesman was telling me over the phone (never got one). The following day, my son urged me to review the seller's ratings on the internet. I was horrified with what I've found out. I immediately called the credit card company and fortunately there was no transaction or inquiry made by this company yet. I closed my account and I sent an e-mail to the company to cancel my order that day. But this Monday morning, I was getting harassed by this salesman from hell. He said that I owe the company a cancellation fee. He kept calling my house about half a dozen more times even after I've told him that I'll call the police and report them to the better business bureau if he'll call my house again. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT do business with this company in any way, shape, or form. LISTEN TO ALL THE COMMENTS!! DO NOT BUY FROM BESTPRICECAMERA or INFINITY PHOTO or J&K CAMERAS or whatever other aliases they use. I thought I was getting a great deal. Who could pass up a package deal for $400, including a battery, lens cleaner, tapes, tripod, etc, when the actual camera cost $350. I couldn't believe how much cheaper it was with the accessories, and I SHOULDN'T HAVE. It was too good to be true. I calculated the total shipping and cost plus tax and it SHOULD have come out to $389, but imagine my surprise when I saw a charge on my bank account for $671!
WTF?! I was so surprised I went to my bank and thought somebody had stolen my credit card. I called the number and found out it was Infinity Photo. I got suspicious and googled bestpricecamera and read some REAL reviews, not the fake ones from "satisfied" customers from "John from NY" that they post on their own website. My heart dropped when I realized that I was a victim of their scam. I didn't know what to do so I quickly called and cancelled my order. Ironically, they put me on hold for about 10 minutes and the recording kept saying "We won't ship until we confirm, and we won't charge you until we ship!"
They NEVER confirmed. They DID charge me (outrageously overpriced from what they said). And they did ship. The "supervisor" (it was probably the dude's brother or some bs) came on and said that they could take the shipment back, but I would have to pay a 10% restocking fee. I was so upset at the time that I agreed. I'm hoping to see a refund in my account in the next couple of days. If not, believe that I will call again!
And again, I really hope that they don't steal my credit card and use it for their own nefarious purchases.
I am VERY VERY FRUSTRATED that I had to deal with people like this. Why do they put so much effort into causing misery from other people, just to take money from them? They should all burn down under and be legally TAKEN DOWN!! One day, they are going to mess with a lawyer and they will GO DOWN!!
Please, somebody stop them!

Just a couple of the many unhappy coustmers we need to stop this!!!! I have had this saleman calling my house for a week about my order that I placed, but when I read some of the reviews I called and cancelled and also cancelled my credit card to keep them from charging me for this junk. Please help!!!!!! By the way I found best price cameras from a AD ON THIS web site!!!!
