PriceRitePhoto

aka TheCameraMall, aka C&A Marketing, aka HotBuysElectronics are definitely NOT people you want to do business with despite a relatively high positive feedback at Yahoo Stores. Thomas Hawk has the story:
PriceRitePhoto: Abusive Bait and Switch Camera Store
"I will make sure you will never be able to place an order on the internet again." "I'm an attorney, I will sue you." "I will call the CEO of your company and play him the tape of this phone call." "I'm going to call your local police and have two officers come over and arrest you." "You'd better get this through your thick skull." "You have no idea who you are dealing with."

These are all direct threats that I received today from an individual who identified himself as Steve Phillips, the manager of PriceRitePhoto in Brooklyn, New York when I called to inquire about my order with them. My crime? Telling him that I planned to write an article about my unfortunate experience with his company regarding the camera order I had placed with him yesterday.

How are these people able to stay in business?
Thomas tells the entire gruesome story complete with screen captures. If you are looking to buy a camera or electronics and find a deal that is too good to be true, it probably is a scam like this. Posted by DaveH at November 30, 2005 10:14 AM
