I ALSO rather PAY some reputable store a higher price than get scammed like this!! thedigitalnerds.com should be on SHAMEONYOU on TV !!

WOW, I guess I was lucky! I was up late one night, shopping when I shouldn't have been. I was looking for a Canon A720 IS. Because of price, I was referred to digitalnerds. I put the camera in my cart and after I registered I noticed that the cart had the SD850 IS, which was not the camera I looked at or wanted. I emptied the cart and started again. This time the cart had two A720's in it. I deleted one and the cart showed as empty. I did this one more time and finally gave up. I got suspicious and Googled them (and 2 other sites) for reviews and found this site. Based on everything I read, there's no way these people should be in business...

They do business under about 5 different names. All of which are just as bad. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of all of them. I don't know how they get such good ratings unless they themselves are sponsoring the review site or sending in phony reviews themselves. No legitimate customer would give them a good rating I am sure!!
Sad part is the BBB knows they suck and don't do anything to stop them. They just keep scamming unsuspecting people.

The BBB is a volunteer organization. As such they have no legal authority to stop anyone from doing anything. The BBB works as a mediator in disputes with a merchant and rates a merchant on how they, the merchant, respond to said complaints. That's all they do.

If you have a legal complaint then file that with the legal authorities.
In this case that would be the New York State Attorney General.

Same thing with a variation: I called to confirm my order on a Canon SD870is, the high pressure sales was tried and I declined, I was told the order would ship but when I called for a tracking number four days later I was told the camera was out of stock. That is a smarmy company. Let's do what we can to shut them down. Lots of negative feedback might work as well as calling the Consumer Protection Agency at 1-877-FTC-HELP.

Does anyone know thedigitalnerds.com address? I sent in a complaint to the BBB but they said that the addess I had for them wasnt valid? I must had gotten the wrong info. Thx. They are SCAM ARTISTS AND MUST BE SHUT DOWN!!!!

sadly I was lucky enough to be scammed on yet another website TechonDIGITAL.com therefore that makes TheDigitalnerds.com, J&J.com, thedigitalexpo.com and digitalsuperstore.com making that 5 websites. It is sickening and I like everyone else dealt with the same stuff. They are very stupid to be so nasty and forceful if they're scamming. I knew something was wrong when I was hearing lies from one person and got a call on my call waiting from another person telling me the same thing. Due to the fact that I am a female they talked to me as though I was stupid and I did end up cancelling my credit card. I should have known better when their linked image that said click here to read our security agreement wasn't clickable. Its just sad to know that the holiday season is here and so many people are going to fall into the same trap.

Just experienced the same issues as others describe in this forum. Unfortunately I fear I may have to cancel my CC as well... what a hassle.
Add TECHONDigital to your list of DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM.

This company is using many Different Company Names but are all using the same shipping address: 83 Ave O Brooklyn, NY 11204


BEWARE - This is a BAIT AND SWITCH Company


After making your purchase you will get a email from techondigital.com asking you to call xxx-xxx-xxxx which are all again different numbers stating: Please call (john doe) from our order confirmation department at ext: xxx to confirm your order.

Once you do that then the FUN BEGINS - the sells person (john doe) will tell you that the item you just purchased for $$$ was (GREY MARKET PRODUCT) - which means in the encyclopedia grey market is the trade of something legal through unofficial, unauthorized, unintended distribution channels. In contrast, black market refers to goods and services that are illegal in themselves and/or distributed through illegal channels. The two main types of grey market are imported manufactured goods that would be normally unavailable or more expensive in a certain country and unissued securities that aren't yet traded in official markets.)

Then he ask you if you would like the American Version of this product - which will cost you an extra $$$. Don't even try talking about it to the sells person - he DOES NOT CARE - he will then asks you Do You Want It or Not??? (Of course you want it - if you did not want it you wouldn't have bought it.)
BAM your price $$$ just went up... so much for the savings you just thought you got from buying from these guys - They just got you... BAIT and SWITCH

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and GO and Buy from Someone Else - Dont be a FOOL like I Was... I have learned from my mistake this time...
