I was just the victim of these scammers myself, I am sad to say. The really disturbing thing about all of these bait and switch photo retailers is the lack of effort on the part of New York and New Jersey to do a damn thing about it. These companies have been operating freely in the New York area for years. I don't know if it is corruption or laziness that is the root of the problem, but nothing ever seems to improve. Expresscameras has 93 complaints on file with New Jersey Consumer Protection, and none of them have been resolved. Not one. It is no surprise that these companies have nothing to fear from their actions.
