"I made an order on the website for Canon PS45 digital camera for $435.00 plus $14.95 S&H. They charged my credit card and they the shut down the business. They have never shipped me the merchandise.

For all the fraud victims, you can file a complaint through The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC), a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp

Or you can file complaint to USPS for mail order fraud. You can download the document through https://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/ps8165.pdf

Let's work together to nail these crooks."

"This business appears to be engaging in a criminal operation. I ordered a camera from them 6 days ago. After 5 days I checked my online bank statement and found that they hadn't charged my card yet. So we went to their web page, and found it was inaccessable. Their e-mail was not receiving mail, and their phone was busy. Then we found that their server had been moved to (http://nigelparry.com/index.shtml), who has no affiliation with BridgeViewPhoto, and was not pleased to find their web traffic directed to his server. We found out that there were several other people who ordered cameras, some who had paid for them, and not had them delivered. We've also heard that they ran a similar operation a few years ago. I would recommend staying away from this company. We are going to call our bank tomorrow to cancel our debit card. "

"I purchased a Nikon Coolpix 5700 last Friday with credit
card, that is
28 February on the internet page of bridegviewhoto.
A guy called me later on to confirm the order, and
I had the impression he wants to sell me the entire
store. He succeeded in adding/modifying a couple
of items on my list, and increase the total quite
a bit. Finally they added 6.3 % Fedex insurance to
the total, which I never heard of. Anyway... I needed
the camera.
The order should have arrived by yesterday, at latest,
but it did not show up. The 1-800 number of bridgeview is
busy. Their homepage disappeared. The emails sent
to the 'customer service' email bounce back from an
unknown aol server.
My impression is that FRAUD has happened, and I find
it very likely that I will receive nothing.
What to do next?!"

"I ordered an Fuji Finepix S602 on 2/28. I checked the website on 3/3 and saw they are out of business. I filed a dispute with the New York Better Business bureau. My credit card has been charged, but the credit card company said if I don't get my shipment (which I know I won't) in the next week to call them back and file a dispute. The charges will eventually come off of my credit card. I wonder how many other people got screwed over by Bridgeview Photo. I did order another camera from US1Camera on Monday and I have received my UPS tracking number and UPS has it in transit. They were real easy to deal with. I paid $40 more, but sometimes I guess its better to pay a little more and get good service."

"I order a camera only to find out that the website disappeared the next day or so. It looks like these people need to go to jail. It looks like I'm lucky so far as my credit card was not charged and now is cancelled. What a hassle, I really need the camera."

"I purchased a Fuji FinePix S60w camera from them and now am finding out they scammed me and are not in business. I use a debit card and the funds have already been taken out of my account. I have filed a claim with the BBB in Brooklyn but don't know if they can help.
Get these people off the web!!"

"I purchased a Canon G2 from them on 03/01/03 only to find they went out of business less than 12 hours latter. Although the charge has not come through the authorized amount is being held against my account. Why advertise and sell products without any intention of shipping them? FRAUD!"

"Was traveling needed the camera in a couple of weeks. Thought it was sufficient....How WRONG! Kept checking with them every couple of days and was hearing will ship tomorrow, ship tomorrow. Eventually they told me in the morning that it will ship in the afternoon. Called in the afternoon and it was out of stock!!! They offered to cancel my order (after all they did put the pice up $60). But left me in a position where I did not have time to order from anyone else. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM."
