Too Good To Be True, cont’d • I found a camera online. What a deal!
After review on the internet… “I told them cancel the order. I also emailed them to cancel the order. I thought I was done with them but they had my credit card number. Six weeks later I receive an email that my order was shipped and they charged my account.” “They... called to "confirm" the order, once that was confirmed they proceeded to push accessory products at me.” “I was lied to! Billed for items I didn't want under false pretense and customer service is worthless.” www.gooddeal!.com
