I was looking for a Digital camera and saw this web site from harvest capital that said they had 5 cameras remaining which I have been looking for. I needed to contact this Brian guy with payment for the camera. He emailed me back and said to use either money order or paypal. I used paypal. That was back on October 8th 2004. This is January 1st 2005 and I still have not yet received the camera. I thought it might have been the strike with customs on the Canadian border, but I checked harvest capital web site and ripoffreport.com came up. When I read it my blood boiled. I'll update on any new developments.

In search for a specific camera I've been browsing on the Internet and local retailers for, I've come across an Ad placed while searching on Google for a "Canon G5 Digital Camera" and found a commerce company down in Texas selling off five (5) of these camera's for $350 USD. http://www.harvestcapital.ca/g5.html In a shock of amazement, I sent off an email to there general in-box requesting more information on the camera and any details that they might have to purchase a unit. A day later I receive an email from Brain (responsible for selling the camera's) about the process to send a certified cheque to there office's in Etobicoke, Ontario. Upon arrival of the cheque, Brian would send off the camera's via FedEx ground at there cost from New York, New York. The following is a copy of the email I received from Brian; Hello, My name is Brian and I am in charge of selling the G5's. We have 2 left. They are brand new and come with Canon's one year manufactures warranty which is valid in the USA and Canada. We also offer a 30 day money back guarantee from the time you receive the camera. Shipping / insurance is free via FedEx ground. We only offer one way to purchase and that is via money order. If you purchase, please send a money order for $350 USD(preferably international) to: Harvest Capital attn: Special orders 1530 Albion Road #47586 Etobicoke, Ontario M9V 5H4 Canada After you have sent your money order please email me and tell me, and include your name and full address so I can set aside your camera until I receive the payment. The camera will be shipped from NY, NY. Thank you and Seasons Greetings, Brian :) The initial response from the email caused to second guess my planned purchase only to research Harvest Capital on Google just to play it safe. Sure enough, the first hit brought up was titled ..."Harvest Capital Manager Brian (Last Name Unknown) Ripoff, Scam, Fraud! Etobicoke Ontario" Thank you for the effort and time spent to let us consumers know potential acts of crime from cowards like Brian. This saved me the aggravation, disappointment and hopefully... put this character to Justice!
