RE: Tech On Digital -- Beware!
This is no joke! I recently bought a $400 camera from Techon Digital for $185 and thought I was getting a great deal. Turns out I was just getting myself into a lot of trouble. I recieved two emails almost immediately from this "company." One was simply a message confirming my purchase, and the other told me to call "James" at 800-958-0054 extention 201 to confirm my order. When I called this number, the person tried to get me to buy extremely expensive batteries and memory cards that I already had, claiming that the batteries that came with the camera had very short battery life and the internal memory was too small. When I argued, the man became very persistant, and finnaly grew angry and hung up on my, only after hastily saying "your order is confirmed." Two weeks later (the camera had a 7-10 day shipping range) and my camera still had not arrived. I emailed the company and threatened to contatct the BBB. I also called again and the customer service rep told me that I had ordered the Japanese version for $185 and the English Version would cost me $319! I told him to hold on while I could go check the website, which said NOTHING about the version I bought being the Japanese version. He told me before I hung up that my order had been put on hold, TWO WEEKS after they had confirmed the order ready to ship. When I contacted them back, the Indian man that answered said he owned the company, but idenified himself only as "Scott," despite my persistant asking of his last name. After all, these people have my credit card number, name, AND address! The man told me that my order had been cancelled and hung up. I WAS FURIOUS!!! Somebody needs to put a stop to these rats. Contact your local attorny general and report this. Circulate emails saying not to buy from them. Post negative reviews. DO ANYTHING YOU CAN! We have to stop these kind og people that make the internet an unsafe place. Please, do all you can. AND NEVER SHOP FROM TECHON DIGITAL!!!
