"I placed and order with Bingo Cameras yesterday. Today I received two text messages supposedly from my credit card company asking me to call a number and follow instructions. I called on another number and was told that no one had contacted me from there. I believe Bingo gave my card info to a scammer. I have canceled that card and am replacing it. Beware!"

"I haven't used this company or had any dealings with them. I was scammed by Skypoint Digital. I'm going to try to get on as many of these sites as I can to tell you what you can do about these kinds of websites.

Look up the attorney general for the state this company operates out of and go to that website. In the search engine, type in Consumer Fraud Form and fill it out and return it.
There is a division that investigates consumer fraud that also includes internet sales if the company is located in their state. Once you file a claim, they will investigate and mediate on your behalf to resolve the issue. This is what we need to do to put scammers like these out of business and hopefully in jail. "

"I ordered two canon 7d cameras on line after I called and was told that they definietly had them in stock. The next day I was called and told that I could not purchase a 7d unless I payed twice the amount they charged me. I was told they could not get one at that price but if I wanted to I could be put on their list to get one when they came in. I have called many times since because they are still advertising the camera at the same price I thought I could purchase one at but they always say that they just sold out and I must pay twice the price if I want to buy one. This is a bait and swich just to call them because they will not sell a canon 7d for $800.00 as they advertise. Edward Hanna"

"I read from their web site for a set of Nikon camera, their selling price is very very attractive, approx. 25% less than market.
Their advertisement "In Stock" for that camera.
Two days later, they sent email to me that my order is canceled, the camera is out of stock. Now, I am still worry whether this company uses low product prices to get others credit card details. I am not sure whether my credit card details had been stolen for credit card imitation. "

"NEGATIVE DO NOT BUY FROM. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Same story as everyone else, which I read these reviews beore. Ordered the Canon HV30, found out two weeks later when the order didn't show up it was on back order & had been canceled.

When I checked the website they actually lowered the price $20 so I called in to ask if it was really there. The sales person said no and when I asked why they had recently lowered the price, he just hung up on me.

NEVER BUY FROM BINGO CAMERAS."

"I only have an order#. Dealing with these rude people has been the most unpleasant customer service experience I have ever had. I tried to purchase a Canon 7D Camera from these people. Yes, the price was too good to be true, and I have to take some responsibility for being in this predicament, because I tried to find the best price. I put my order in, received a confirmation e:Mail, telling me to call them to confirm. I call, the representative proceeds to tell me that what I purchased was just the body of the camera, there was nothing else in the box, no wires/cables/software/battery charger/battery/manual, etc. He said what I needed to purchase in order to have all that is their Retail Kit, which was about $500 more. I hesitated, then he proceeded to ask me, why I chose that camera, and have I ever considered the 50D? He told me that the cameras weren't that much different, other than the 7D having a video option, so after "throwing" in a few extra items that I wouldn't need anyway, he convinced me that for the price, this was a better camera and so I gave in. After hanging up the phone, I wasn't feeling comfortable with my decision. I went online and really did my research, realized that I really did want the 7D, and I found it for a better price on a respectable/highly rated site. So I called back again and tried to cancel my order, this time another sales representative again tried to convince me to keep the camera by "throwing" in even more "free" stuff and knocking off an additional $50 off my order. I told him that I didn't want the camera and needed to cancel the order. He then said that he couldn't cancel it, I would have to call back Customer Service in the morning to do it, because it was already after close for them. So, the next morning I called Customer Service and was told that the camera already shipped and they couldnt' cancel the order. I would have to wait to receive the camera, call in for an RMA# and then I would get my money back after they received it. But in the mean time I would have to pay for the return shipping.

These people are liars, thieves and con artists. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S. I did receive the camera, haven't even opened the box, called in for an RMA#, returning it today and hope and pray that I actually see my money back on the card. I feel like such a fool for not doing my research ahead of time and reading up reviews of the stores that I purchase from. From now on, not even a single ink-cartridge will be purchased without a thorough review/research. PLEASE, PLEASE, whatever you do, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!"

"I made 2 sep purchaces/camera body/camera lense.I was told to call verify purchase, I did then was told the lense i wanted didn't work well with my camera body, needed to upgrade to a better nikon lense, so i agreed. I then tried to find the nikon lense i upgrded to on the internet,no where to be found. Found out it was a sigma lense ? I called and told them i didn't want it and they said it was to late that it already shipped.Even though i called before the item shipped.(phone record and ups record) Then got an email saying the camera body i ordered was 8 weeks delaid so they cancelled my order on the camera body.Also they removed my original order for the nikon lense in my account and never put in the order for the sigma lense in my account,gee i wonder why? obvious now they didn't want a paper trail of there switch. Please inform the New York Attorney Generals office this place is running a scam operation,they need to be shut down.And I want all my money back. "

"I attempted to place an order for a Canon EOS 50D with 2 lenses with Bing Cameras. I ended up with a Bait n Switch sales person, Nate Larson who blatantly lied to me about what he was selling me. They refused to cancel the order 5 min after it was placed. Refused to accept my returning everything without charging over $600. I have complaints in with The Better Business Bureau of N.Y., The Federal Trade Commission & Chase Credit Card Fraud dept. I have shipped the box back, insured & to be signed for. I have no idea if I'll see any of my money $2698."
