CameraAddict.com needs to be shut down immediately.

I ordered a big screen TV from them, for what I thought was a great price. The next day, I received an email to call to confirm the order. I called the company, and after a long time on hold, a very rude man came on the line. I could barely understand him, as he was eating and talking to other people. He tried to sell me a $199 remote control for my TV, a $199 HDMI cable, and a $499 warranty. After I kept saying no, I got the feeling this was a scam. He said I had to have their "special 1.8 HDMI cable" for $199, and that I must not be familiar with this TV. It also didn't come with a remote, and I needed their "special" remote, also for $199. After I repeatedly said no to all these things, that I just want the TV, he mocked me, then quoted the final charge to my credit card, which was $200 more than I agreed to. I already knew I was going to cancel from this total scam operation, but I asked him anyway what the extra $200 was for. First he tried to imply that was the charge I had agreed to. Then he said it was for "handling".

I just told him to cancel my order. This is where it got interesting. He mocked me. Then he said to wait a minute. He blew a horn in the phone three times. Then he rudely asked me if I knew what that sound was. I hung up.

About ten minutes later, I received an email saying my order had been cancelled. Thankfully, it doesn't look like my credit card was charged.

I feel bad for the people who don't know any better about their outright lies about the "extras", or who can't stick up for themselves to this kind of telephone bullying.

They need to be shut down.
