A & M Photo World ripoff pushy salesman that milk your money bags and hidden charges galore Brooklyn New York
Please edit what you need to.
I have had nothing but problems with this company. They promised to send my order (camera, and lens kit) together, in order to save shipping costs. That was their first lie. Then I had to call this pushy salesman to request that my camera body be sent. He told me I NEEDED all this high end garbage (like a $500 charger, instead of a $139 one that would suffice). I told him I was going to college, and only wanted the basics. He told me my bill was $2400. I thought it was steep, so I went to the site. I found out that he could have sold me what I needed for around $1200!! The price of the camera dropped from $800+ to $774 in one buisness day. As of now, I cancelled the transaction from my bank.
Then, last night someone from their processing department called to say that my credit card was rejected. I told her why I cancelled it, and that twerp transferred me to the same creep that tried to rob me the first time. I hung up, and called that stupid female again, and I stressed the fact that I did not want to talk to that sleezebag. So what did that airhead do?!! You guessed it, transferred me to the creep again!! Then he called my house 15+ times & left messages on my machine like he was my best friend. This place need to be investigated.

UPDATE: Ripoff Report brought some justice to this situation!
#2Consumer Suggestion
Mon, April 25, 2005
I just wanted to keep people up to snuff on this situation. I contacted Popular Photography Magazine about this situation. I gave them links to the Ripoff Report proving that A & M Photo World was a crooked company. The head of the magazine called my house to let me know that they will no longer allow A & M Photo World to advertise in their magazine!! Think of all the people that have been saved the grief of being scammed by A & M Photo World thanks to my tenacity, and this site!! Hit crooked companies in thier pocketbook, where it hurts!! I would love to share this story on national TV.
