This is the conversation that we had.

faith says:
1. Why are they so cheap?
The cameras are not so cheap as you think we buy in bulk from their manufacturer so they give us at good and discount price. also we want our customer to be able to purchase them affordable and without no more stress.

2. Local or grey sets?
The canon cameras is originall y made by their manufacturer canon and they are in good conditions, you will also enjoy the camers because comes with its full accessories.

4. How is warranty being covered?
yes the canon camera comes with 1 year valid warranty in your country and also 6 months return policy guarantee. i.e if anything happens to the camera you can send it back to us and we will pay for the shipping fee and send you another one or refund your money depending on your choice.

7. How is payment made?
????

ok
no cash on delivery?

faith says:
Customer must chose from these above options of payment for payment for goods.
Payments must be confirmed before the delivery can be carried out so we can settle the shipping fee, customs and tax
also 30minutes after we confirm your payment we will ship out the goods and send you the shipping tracking number so you can monitor your packaged till it get delivered to your doorstep.

faith says:
so once we confirm your 50% payment we will pay the shipping fee and also settle the custom and tax agencies
also note if anything happens to the cameras you can send it back to us and we will pay the shipping fee and send you another one or refund your money.

I pressed him for proof, pictures or whatever that he can show me. Initally, he told me the website wasn't ready. But suddenly after talking for 15mins, he said his website is ready.

His company website link: http://digitalcameraslimited.tech.officelive.com/aboutus.aspx


Did a couple of searches on Google, found that the company is already dissolved. And, worst thing is, he still doesn't want to admit.

He has already deleted his post. Friends, please be careful when dealing with new advertisers.
 

Nice warning. Though most people are well informed nowadays, but there are still people who fall prey to such scams.
 

The mode of payments already ring all possible alarm bells. Not the first one .. not the last one. If you see such posts just report them for deletion.
 

selling cameras with such atrociously low prices is already a strong hint tat they cannot be trusted.
 

Thanks for the warning. There will always wolves in sheep's clothing waiting to prey on innocent victims.
 

I honestly hope ppl out there are not so dumb and are scammed into paying thru money transfers. You will never see your money or product or hear from the seller. How can brand new be cheaper than B&S? haha..
 

hahaha. transacting via western union is confirm like scam.
 

ts one up for u
 

Thanks for TS to raise awareness.

Don't be surprised, there are people that do fall into such scam. I rmb not too long ago someone ranted about being cheated through similar scam.
 

He's not from the UK either... Almost all Nigerian Scam artists have a UK number. It's just a forwarding number.
 

yup thanks for the awareness..

saw a feel thread at BnS b4 is damn cheap -.-!
 

Now scammers are really desperate. Last time was email and mobile phone lottery scam.
Now even club forum DSLR & lenses scam also emerge. I wonder what's next?

They are not desperate. It is just business as usual for them.
