AFTER THAT
You will either get an email saying "You must call us to verify the account", or some fast talking con artist will call you and try to force you into buying all these over priced add on's (like a battery you can get for $60, they will try to sell it to you for $200).
If you decline to buy into their scam, they will either hang up on you, put you on hold forever, or send you an email telling you that your camcorder is out of stock.

Dear Valued Customer,

Do me a favor,
Call these companes, record their con tactics, and send the proof to the internet fraud bureau, your state Attorney general.
These crooks need to be stopped.
