These guys are a bunch of scam artist. They use the old bait and switch. They operate under several names: BROADWAY PHOTO, A&M Photo World, Best Camera, Camera Addict, Cameratopia, Digital Liquidators LLC, Ghu, LLC, Millenium Camera
Preferred Photo, Prestige Camera, Quest4Cameras, Regal Camera
TheDigitalExpo, Tronicity, Wild Digital LLC there Address: 337 East 89th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11236
I was looking for a Sony Bravia HDTV model KDL-52XBR5. I did a Google search for that model and got the following results from Everyprice.com.
Guess what, the two lowest prices are from the same company with great ratings and look at the number of reviews. Wow!
I ordered from Camera Addict, why not “great reviews and lowest price”
When I ordered here is the e-mail message I got.

Here is what happens when you call the above number. They get you to start answering “yes” by asking you to verify you name the merchandise you ordered and the “SWITCH” begins. They want to know what cable you want to order. When you say, “none” they politely accept you reply. Then they want to know how you plan to mount your TV, on the wall or on a stand. Which every one you choose you have taken the bait. If you say neither just send the item you order. They tell you must order a stand or a wall mount because the TV does not come with either. If you insist they send only what you ordered you are told, “They are very busy, and why are you taking up their valuable time” and hang up on you.
If you are considering using the above companies you should check out the New York Better Business link below.
