USAphotonation.com victims to sue

[EricTroutt]

Have you been victimized by the deceptive trade practices of USAphotonation.com? I was recently vicitimized by them, however, I am an attorney. I am preparing to sue them for false advertising, fraud, deceptive trade practices, etc. If you have been a victim of their scam please email and let me know. If you would like to be included as a Plaintiff, I intend to seek class certification for a class action lawsuit, also let me know.

Sincerely,

Eric Troutt
Attorney at law

LMAO ... they have the 350D/XT Kit available for $599.00 >

Even says they are a Member of the Association of Ethical Internet Professionals > > READ THIS

Good Luck as these type individuals should be put under the Jail.

The so called "Association of Ethical Internet Professionals" also appears to be a total scam. What will they come up with next?

(It is also interesting to note that the website for this false organization is non-existent)

Congratulations. They're now forewarned as this is searchab;le via the web. Forewarned being forearmed I feel this is a very poor method of case chasing.

Eric, I say sue them to high heaven!

This page:

Lists Nikon 8800 for $529 + $100 mail-in rebate.
They call you after stating this is not a USA package,
it is a Japan wholesale package and comes without a
battery or whatever else. Which is total BS. I just
had that happen. The a$$hole on the phone - Bill,
1-800-872-3143 lies about everything and if you
do not agree to buy anything - sais "your order is
cancelled" and hangs up on you.

What wrong with this deceptive advertising is that
the item webpage never states its a package without
the battery. When you do a GOOGLE search for
"Nikon 8800" the link to their site comes as the top-ranked
ad with these words (as of 2005-07-05):

Nikon 8800 Now at $429
www.USAPhotoNation.com
"Brand New & Factory Sealed Get Yours For $429, Now Available!"

Which is clear misadvertising.

USA Photonation is looting money from the customers like anything. I saw the advertisement in the net for a Canon A95 camera and it was listed as 219$.

After a week sales representative called me and said you have to order the accessories then only the order is eligible. He said it was 50$ for a charger and the battery. I even said ok. But when I saw my credit card bill I was shocked to see that USA Photonation has charged me 333$. When I tried to contact them they were not reachable for a week saying that the office is closed. After a week I contacted steve the sales person and I was told that the charger is 50$ and the rechargeble battery was 50$ and the rest for packaging and shipping. I asked him if I want to return what is the procedure he said that it was -15% of the total cost would be deducted.

It sounds like a load of rubbish to me.
