"I did a web search and ordered a Nikon SB-900 for what seemed to be a too-good-to-be-true price. It was.

Placed the order on line. received several emails to call Bingo, to verify the purchase. Did that. Sales rep (didn't recall the name) told me to enjoy my purchase.

Two days later received another email from Bingo, asking me to call again. called. They wanted the confirmation number for the credit card now! (Didn't I submit that with the order?) Then the rep vigorously tried to get me to switch to a no-name flash that was "better" than the big Nikon. I demurred. He then told me it would ship in three to five weeks. Why? Backordered...

My next communication from Bingo was an email telling me my purchase had been cancelled. Let them tell their story in their own words:

"Unfortunately we are currently oversold on the item you have ordered, and it is currently on a backorder for 6-8 weeks. Therefore, your order has been canceled. Please note, your credit card has not been charged.

Your cancellation number is: BNGXXXX The email address that you provided to us has been added to our "Notify List" and we will notify you as soon as the product becomes available.

Bingo Camera are a bunch of scam-masters. Avoid."

"Ignorant fraudsters, bait and switch operation. Total waste of time. Avoid these guys completely.
They need to be prosecuted for fraud."

"i was going to order from the store ..called to a store to ask few questions ..the rep was so rude i asked does this item comes bran new with all accespries he said no ..& we ha nothing in stock call after 6 weeks though website is saying item in stock ..so beware of this store sell fraud items without original packaging & accesories"

"I called and spoke to a guy who was very short with me when I was trying to ask questions about the cameras. I was looking for a Nikon D80 and the listed price was to good to be true. It was only the body with no battery or anything else and then the guy had the nerve to hang up on me. Don"t trust this place. Iguess it"s like the old saying.. If it looks to good to be true then it is..."

"DO NOT PURCHASE FROM BINGOCAMERAS.COM !!! Thanks to this site I was tipped off about SONICCAMERAS.COM. I was nearly through with my $1700.00 order for a Nikon D700 when I got that uneasy feeling. I called them and spoke to some belligerent a-hole for 30-seconds before realizing SONIC is a complete scam. So when I found BINGOCAMERAS.COM I was already weary. The bingo site has many of the same sidebar graphics and, sure enough, when I called it was the same idiot from Soniccameras. It looks like you guys have fingered these crooks out, and now they're trying to change the look to keep the rip-off alive....Thanks to all who posted, Way to go!!!"

"Ordered the Canon Vixia HG20 from their website. Upon calling for my expedited shipping, they tried to tell me the batter life is only 15 min. (hard to believe) and sell me a $150 "extended life" battery. Then tells me the menus on the camera are in Japanese. When I said it was not on their site, he said it was in their Conditions. You mean, hidden in their Terms and Conditions."

"First time buying from this company and I have to say it was rather easy and carefree. All my products came on time, in great condition. I am very satisfied with the level of service I was given and I will forsure come to them again for more electronics."

"this store is not reliable. I bought a D60 camera and soon they say to me that they do not have the model, and that I must buy another one by a nongood price.
They do not buy with this people!
"

"Watch out. Another bait and switch. I was looking for the Canon HG21 Camcorder. Bingo lists it on the web site at $389. To good to be true. I called them to inquire about it. Sure enough it was the camera only (Not the retail package), and it was grey market (Not for the U.S.). When I asked for the retail package, the price jumped to $799. Still a good price, but I'm not going to risk buying from these guys."

"this is a scam. them eather have chinese lenses or they want an up sell. or sell you a different product.dont even think of doing busness wiyh then. there is not an adress on the web site. "
