Warning! Allstarcameras (All Star Cameras): Bait and Switch Fraud!

AllStarCameras.com is now showing up on Google Adwords as having the Canon XH-A1 camcorder for $1,499.  Don’t be fooled; these criminals will NEVER sell one at this price unless you buy overpriced accessories that negate any deal. They are brand new, having launched the site, according to Internic.net, on April 1, 2009.

 

All Star Cameras is an alias for Sonic Cameras, Bingo Cameras and Stop and Shop Digital Direct, two of the worst bait and switch websites on the Internet.  Read the reviews here for Shop Digital Direct; some of the absolute worst reviews of any website in the history of the Internet.  Here’s the sonic cameras review.

 

How do I know they are related?  They use the same, exact language in their various websites. 

 

I can say, without fear of lawsuit, that these guys are violating State and Federal law and you absolutely will be ripped off by these felons.  Do not, in any event, give them your credit card number.

I agree with this as I was a victim of sonic cameras. I was sold a nikon D-90 body with no parts that usually come with a DSLR (battery, neck strap, etc). After my order went through, I recieved a call "confirming my order". They actually let you know at that time that you will need to purchase more items that are necessary at outrageous prices. They somewhat matched a deal that I found on the much more trusted Amazon site and they matched that deal after I requested a refund, however I was sent cheap items or items that didn't work. I should've gotten a 16 gig SD card but got a 4 gig card instead. The extra battery to go with the "knock-off" MB-D80 battery grip did not work. The battery grip does work, it's just not what I thought I was paying for. I'd rather pay a little more and have piece of mind and know I'm getting quality products.
