Easy, because the last time I checked, you can't sue the truth.

Anyway, this forum section seems to have hit top stop when you Google for "Worldwide Cameras Centre" ....
Only if you can substantuate the truth.....you need some record of the cheating practice as evidence.....I am not sure if a cash sale record or invoice will do
 

ladies and gentlemen, lets pray for bad karma for wwc.

haha a walk into the shop for fun..

"hello brother, your worldwide cameras centre really famous worldwide leh! a seach on google and you will know!" :bsmilie:
 

They should be ashamed of themselves......talking about getting the wrong publicity.

Classic.
 

Haha. I think somebody should go there act "gong". And somehow film down the whole proceedings on their phone. Then "YouTube" it or bluetooth on mrt and bus. HWZ's EDMW is a good place to start. The press always camp there last I heard.

The carrot on the dangle must be somehow interesting though. :bsmilie:
 

Seems like there are a lot of bad shops around and even tho some have already known that this, and other shops like this, exist. There will be other unwary victims. I for one never heard of this shop and could be a future victim. Some people suggest a search but honestly, the search is not always helpful and sometimes it just spew irrelevant result. I would suggest a sticky as well.. not this thread but perhaps some sort of directory of all known shops, good or bad, and linked to threads like this. Something like what Ian is doing on the Nikon pricelist. A nicely maintained helpful and concise informative page.
 

Another thing to do is to post some pics of the hsop and the sales persons faces here.
 

i find the idea of having a dedicated thread about these stupid shops extremely useful. however, with the amount of these shops, i can imagine the thread is going to be very messy with full of discussions, making it quite hard to actually find the posts that contains the info about these shops. perhaps we can create a thread that can only be edited by the mods, and whenever a thread like this one reaches a conculsion about certain shop(wwcc in this thread), mods will just add it to that Dangerous Shops thread, thus making it easier to refer and view.
 

yeah, they tried to sell me superia 1600 at 24 dollars a ROLL!!!!!!!! Freaking ridiculous. I told them they are crazy. They asked me to look around, sure cannot find. Then I found one selling for only 7 dollars a roll and went back to tell them. They just lan lan.

hate these people that cheat us.. come on, photography is a DAMN expensive hobby, and we are already broke getting stuffs for our passion and these people have to cut our throat like that.. ta ma de...

Just got this comment on my blog, think at least I made a difference in some sense :

Strangely enough, I came across your blog totally by accident. My friend left for a Holiday in Singapre, but beforehand I asked him to get me a digital camera, but specifically avoid the shop mentioned on your blog.

Well, he was so impressed with the Canon S3iS that I asked for, so he bought himself one as well. Effectively, that shop lost out on just under $1000.

Thanks for your posts.

At least someone was saved!
 

i also had a bad experience on this shop...

i planned to buy dry cabinet, and result all price was negotiated when i want to pay for the box, he said need to add GST. I pulled back, and feel i get cheated, as it back to almost the original price. I left yet get scolded.

NEVER GO TO THAT SHOP!!
 

I also almost cheated! Try to sell me a vitacon polarizing filter at $100+ ... Lucky I know the prices,in the end lower until $30+...

y u still buy from them!??!?! should have avoided them and let them have no buiz till they just close shop and stop hurting us innocent nice civilians
 

May i suggest a mod-restricted list of "trusted" list be set up since a list of "untrusted" shops may attract legal action?

eg: Cathay Photo, MS Colour, John 3:16, Alan Photo etc...i am a noob so I only know these shops...other experienced shutterbugs may know of others?

I think trusted and untrusted are bot subjective matter so links to personal experience should be a better way to gauge. Not only the cheats but bad service as well.... based on your list, I am not a fan of AP and from what I gather, you need to know some of the sales personnel in order to get a good service.
 

I did agreed with Saiful Bahar.
