Advertising for 4 # companies lead to same fraudulent organization

I've been searching for a Nikon D80 and contacted 3 different companies from the web. After the first bad experience with "CameraAddict.com" where, after placing my order, I received an e-mail asking to call to "confirm" address and told that the battery and charger were not included, and that I would have to pay another $200+ dollars to be able to use my camera, I cancelled the order, thinking it was just "1" bad seed!

I then placed an order with "BroadwayPhoto.com" and was amazed to go through exactly the same experience, with the addition of a very rude and pushy person on the phone who refused to take my call after I placed the order, and never answered my numerous messages to cancel the order (4 messages left within 2 hours, immediately after placing the order).

Then I tried "FotoConnection.com" However, I was beginning to be suspicious, I decided to check internet for "customers' comments on all three of these companies. I was surprise (I'm trusting and a slow learner, I guess) to find out numerous comments that were practically identical for all three companies, and even a fourth one ("EveryPrice.com") with similar experience to mine. One comment even noted that the address of both CameraAddict and BroadwayPhoto is at east 89th st Brooklyn, NY.

I'm not sure how many more "companies" are part of this scam, but I will never buy on lone before checking comments again. It's well worth paying 3 to 5 % more to get the real thing and be confident in what you buy!
