Company is a Scam! They lure you in at lower price but don't send goods unless you overpay for accessories.

Store sells items at lower prices and then forces you to buy accessories that are 10 to 20x their normal cost.

I went to purchase a Nikon D90 for about $200 lower than other sites. The company said I needed to call them even though I gave tham a valid card. They then wanted me to buy either a 2 hour, 4 or 6 hour battery. Problem is, the Nikon takes only one type of battery and the prices they quoted for a battery were 10 to 20x what I could purchase it on line.

They then said they were waiting for credit card approval even after six weeks of my calling them.

I found similar complaints on this company at:

I purchased a Canon Rebel T2i camera package for $1000 Nov 17, 2010 and the company has been giving me the runaround and has never shipped my product. Every time I call they say their merchant account has been frozen and they cannot reimburse me nor ship my product. They say everything will be back up and running within a couple of weeks. I just called again today and same excuse and now they are saying February. Help!

What in Sam are you saying? Can 't people even write a message that makes sense? I'm sorry Roland; but your message makes no sense to me! What are you trying to say? "Once I had re Willey which under big o tires. Again I'm sorry but you need to learn to use full words as I assume you were trying to say " reply"? What is this country coming too? I would never tell anyone I was a teacher as most young people (those under 43 )have received a mediocre education or just plain poor one at that? Teachers lead us into believing that they are so enlightened, yet fail miserably as test scores have shown!

I can't believe it can happen in the US. Is there any way people can complain against company to the goverment or some similar institution.

This company is a complete fraud, i have a feeling they are not selling any items on the web, the only intetion is to get the credit card numbers and address of the people and then later [censor] around.

My experience of buing a cannon camera was very similar with others, ordered on Aug 12th and today is 9/3 never reached to me. Called the customer service every time but no response, and long wait!.. Finally was able to reach some idiot who has no intention of serving any customers said my order cannot be shipped because of some over allocation. And i can upgrade my order or cancel it. I have no idea what it means! I said cancel and get out of them.

Beware of these guys it's an online fraud company!

I ordered a canon d50 & lens that I got at what seems a great price approx $200 less than the 5 star sellers. They had me also confirm, but gave up trying to sell me the overpriced battery. I just read the reviews that document how others were scammed. I gave them information to bill thru a debit card giving me no recourse if they fail to send the items. I will be unable to sue or do anything. I `ll try using a credit card instead and hope for the best. I`m calling american express to see what their complaint process involves & see if it's worth the prospective hassel. I hope I don't regret this ... what do you think? Will they honor the order or steal the $?

I read the reviews and took a chance anyway and have come to the conclusion that Daily Deal Digital is a corrupt organization. At 59 and a holder of a Credit Card for at least 36 years I have never had an over-charge from anyone except this Company. In the amount of $463.92! Now how in hell does anyone overcharge unless they are thieves? And do not be taken in by "Positive Reviews" here… Probably co-conspirators? I ordered 3 weeks ago and they charged my card over 2 weeks ago and still after 3 weeks no camera. I just spoke with Bernard and the excuse is "Jewish Holiday"! I've contacted the Attorney General’s Office in Florida and lodged a complaint. The info for others is listed here.

I also order new camera body at DailyDealDigital. I haven't received any email (confirmation, receipt). They overcharge $200. I called them, they don't pick my call.
Then, it spent for 2weeks, even I haven't got camera! anyone has any idea to get back my money?
