I fell for this exact con about five-six years ago when I bought my first digital camera. Went on-line and found a site offering the camera I wanted for about 1/2 to 2/3 of what I just saw it for at Costco. I went through all the steps of on-line ordering, everything seemed fine. The next morning I got a call saying there was a "probelm" with my order. I never even heard what the problem was but during the call the helpful person on the other end of the phone mentioned "you know this camera you ordered doesn't really come with (insert shit load of unneeded accessories here)" I was really busy at the time, had an on-line Christmas wreath business that was occupying much of my attention. I basically said- "sure, great, fine... it'll ship tomorrow? Great thanks." I woke up early in the morning about two days later and thought "hey, wait a minute..."
I didn't try to stop the order. The next day it showed up, all the crap they sold me with the camera was just that... crap. I saw the SD card they sold me at Costco for $35, they got $125 out of me for the same brand and memory. They told me the camera didn't even come with any memory, it did.
I figured screw it- $250 lesson.
