Deceitful company 'the Camera Professionals' now sells under new name 'HD Camera World' ?
I was ready to order a video projector with www.TheCameraProfessionals.com because their price was so much lower than all the other companies, when I read about the 90 complaints for this company. One complaint said that they sell under different names in order to get away with their fraudulent schemes. When I tried to buy it from a different company I came across www.hdcameraworld.com who advertised the same low price. Being a bit more careful now I looked into the 'About Us' and discovered that the text is almost identical to the one of the cameraprofessionals. So be warned - most probably the same deceitful company is behind it.

Thank you, I was about to order a GPS from them, but it was the 4th of July weekend. I am also traveling, and did not want it to be left on my front porch.

I was nervous about the incredibly good price, as well. After hearing these comments, I am glad I waited, so that I won't lose my money or even worse have identity fraud. I do appreciate having others share, so keep it up everyone, so that no one gets taken advantage. Suz

Add www.shopdigitaldirect to the list, I ordered Home Theater projector and got a call asking if I wanted to upgrade to the retail version. for $179., asked what that was and was told the proj. I ordered comes without the bulb. They are a wholesale company. Nowhere on site does it state either. Obviously got upset with him and cancelled. He also tried to stick me with cancellation charge.

I am joining the throng of complainers about HDCameraWorld. I ordered a Canon Powershot 720A on June 30th and today I called to find out why it hadn't been shipped. After holding for 45 minutes was told that they had tried to reach me to tell me I hadn't ordered the $49 special battery for this camera and they wouldn't ship the camera unless I bought the special battery. When I said I wanted to cancel the order I was told there would be a 15% cancellation fee and they could charge that fee because it was posted on their website. I don't see it there. I have been ripped off of a $30 fee . . . Not a huge amount as scams go but I'm angry about it.

In researching The Camera Professionals on the Better Business Bureau'a website I discovered that this company also does business under the following names.

Best Digital Online
HDCameraWorld
Pay Less Digital
The Camera Pros
UB Digital

My experience with The camera professionals was so HORRIBLE I made a youtube video from the experience (including a phone conversation that I had with their customer service department - I did advise them that the conversation was being recorded). To help me break this scamming company, please go to youtube.com and type "the camera professionals" in the search box. Please leave comments!

Wish I had checked them out before blundering into there web of deceit. Live and learn. What recourse do I have? My bad for falling for there low price scam. They shipped the camera I ordered, but did not include the accessories in there so-called "starters package". I may never receive theses, but I will do everything I can to expose their tactics.

I ordered a Garmin GPS and was told to call to verify, when I did I was told the maps were out dated and I had to pay extra for 2008 maps. I said ok and should have realized the price with the maps was not any lower than anywhere else. Ordered June 20, 2008 did not get it until July 11th, 2008 after numerous phone calls to them. Money taken off my charge on June 26, 2008. Now when I went to register GPS was told it was already registered. DO NOT BE TAKEN IN WITH THE LOW PRICE, IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

I ordered a Olympus 550 camera. they stated it was new and I could buy a 5 year extended warranty for another 30 bucks. Got the camera, it didn't work and the extended warranty was for 3 years. Returned the camera and they received it on 7-17-08, still no refund credit on my credit card. I think the Attorney General of NY should get involved. Will most likely have to dispute the charge with my credit card co.

The camera I ordered did not have a Olympus warranty card and did not come in a factory box. I think they sold a refurbished camera as new.

I even called before I ordered online and asked about a battery...I was told it came with one...and then the call came for more money and a "real battery". Pay more somewhere eles and walk away happy.

Thanks for taking the time to post your complaints. I was tempted to buy a Fujifilm camera from HD CameraWorld since its price is so much less than others I have seen online. Fortunately, before ordering, I searched their name and came upon this website. It isn't worth saving a few dollars to go through the hassles all of you have described. I'll order from Amazon.

I ordered a Canon PowerShot camera on 7/27/2008 from HD Camera. When I called to confirm my order, I was put on hold for 30 minutes. Twice a person came on line and said "please wait". When they got on line, they said they were shipping out my order, but I would have to order a battery. I had called before my order and they said that it was complete as listed by Canon. He hung up the phone. This company is a scam and sould be stopped from their decepitive practices.

This company is a fraud! We actually called the company before placing the order for an Olympus camera and asked them how they could sell at prices much lower than their competitors. They told us it was because they bought wholesale lots. We ordered the camera. Next my daughter received a call from them telling us we needed to buy the battery for the camera at an extra $60.00. She told them no way, and to cancel the order. They hung up on her! I immediately called my credit card company and had them to deny any charges made from this company on my credit card. I then called the company and of course had to wait 30 plus minutes on hold before anyone answered my call. At this point I told the woman to make sure my order was canceled. Get a cancelation number from them! I asked her why they charge extra for a battery that comes in the box with the camera. She said it says on the website that the camera does not come with the camera. I disagreed with her, and of course, she humg up on me! This website needs to be shut down! Do Not Buy!
